Hi all,
when I mark one file, say test.001, and put the cursor frame to another file, say test.002, then TCMD seemingly begins combining at test.002 . Is that intended? Because I'd rather expect it to behave the other way round, like when I copy files, then TCMD ignores the cursor frame and takes the files I'v e marked.
Cheers,
Stephan

Indeed you must put the cursor on the first file to be combined. You cannot use the selection for choosing the files to be combined.

Hello !
• IMHO, there is rather an advantage in having to mark the first file only : No need to select all, you save time.
- Also, I guess that TC needs that first file only to be able then to find the others (and verify when there's a CRC check-sum).
- If you select all xxxx.00* files, then how the programme could know from which one it must begin the JOIN job ?
Kind regards,
Claude

Hi Claude,
thanx for your answer. Yep, I totally agree with you. You got me a little bit wrong -> I don't want the behaviour with "mark one file" to be changed. The question just was, if TC could - if ONE single file is marked - use the marked file instead of the one under the cursor. Because for noobs the follwoing might IMO be a bit misleading:
1) Noob selects a couple of files to join.
2) TC tells him "only the first file should be marked"
3) Noob de-marks all files but the first one (so his cursor is now on the last one, because he went from file no. 2 to file no. N in order to de-mark the files
4) TC now does not complain any more, but joins only from the file where the cursor sits - not from the first file he left marked.
Cheers,
Stephan
