Hello!
I have discovered the small disadvantage in Total Commander Search dialog.
When I open the Find files dialog, and press Start, the search results list will appear. Button View (F3) is grayed until searching progress is continuing, and become to accessible only when searching progress will complete.
However, F3 hot key is accessible for selected files even so at the time of searching (I can press the F3 key even if View button is grayed, and view the founded file).
I think it is useful to have the ability to view file while searching is proceeding. Can you enable the View button, since F3 enabled anyway?
I have using the TC 6.50 Trial
Thank you!

This happens because the new results are inserted into the current list during the search, so when clicking on a file and then going to the F3 button, the file under the cursor may have already changed. With the F3 key, the two steps can be performed faster - and the not so advanced users will not try to use the function and be surprised that the wrong file was shown...

Why is the cursor position not kept on the file it had been on before?This happens because the new results are inserted into the current list during the search, so when clicking on a file and then going to the F3 button, the file under the cursor may have already changed.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
View button and F3 key
So, are two choices where:
1) Keep the cursor position during search, and enable the View button and F3 key.
2) Disable both the View button and F3 key.
