Some feature requests

Post by *ddofborg »

General
1. Using natural sort as option for sorting filenames. Here is a thread where I asked for this before.

2. Make background manager a bit more like a background manager. Maybe an option to resize it. Or even better make BM always running in background and display somekind of a small indicator how far the copying (etc) is.

3. Folder structure in FTP connection dialog.

4. When drag&drop to TAB (mouse over a tab), show content of the tab (so you can drag it to a folder in that tab)

5. Support for RegEx in selections for filenames.

6. Features like MultiRename, SyncDir, etc shouldn't lock TC's main window. Make those windows not modal.

7. Calculate MD5 sums of selected files.

Copy dialog
8. When a file is copied and abort is pressed, ask to keep the file or delete it.

9. Resume file (like append, but append from the position = filesize). Most FTP clients (and TC's FTP client too) support this.

10. When file aleready exist, add option to: 1) overwrite if size if different, 2) rename target

11. Show remaning time of the operation.

BUG:
1. When showing tooltip over a file name, TC looses focus (maybe because of the X-Mouse feature I use). But's it's very irritating bug, because If you want to select (click) on the file, tooltip is getting in the way. So now you have to move the cursor and quickly select the file.


PS: Maybe some of these feature have been requested already, but I couldn't find them.

Let me know what do you think of these features.

I'm talking about TC6! Or did I miss some features in TC6?

I've hoped I would be able to quickly switch between "normal" and
"natural" sorting, for example I will be able to have in one tab the same folder with "normal" sorting and in the another tab with "natural". Now it seems to be impossible :-(

Me too. But SortUpper=2 is working!

7. Files/CRC checksums
5: well, not when I press plus-sign (on the numberpad)
7: well, MD5-sum is more common now!

edit: 7 is already here. just haven't seen it!

If you download and install pdavit's new extened menu for TC 6.0, you can do MD5 checksums. It is under "Handling > File Integrity/Coding > Create CRC Checksums". When the box comes up, there is a checkbox for MD5. ;)

_________transmission_from_HISTORY.TXT__________

04.06.03 Added: Experimental support for regular expressions in select/unselect files: string must be preceded by a '<', e.g. <^[A-Za-z \.]*

______________end_of_transmission________________

First read, then test, and THEN ask.

ddofborg,
4. When drag&drop to TAB (mouse over a tab), show content of the tab (so you can drag it to a folder in that tab)
Is on the wishlist.
11. Show remaning time of the operation.
Is there (for larger files).

Me too. :(

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
