What enhanced feature from TC 7.5 do you use often

Post by *eugensyl »

We are so enthusiast with all new features which came with TC 7.5 but some can be more useful than others.

What enhanced feature from TC 7.5 do you use often and do you think is a huge step forward?

I know, all are important but some of them have a bigger impact each of us.
It will be interesting to reviewing and sharing the best experiences between us. The newbies will be excited to see all of these features and many questions will have the answers.

Also I will post my separate tread.
My Best Wishes,

Eugen

Personal I use Internal Association .
Motivation: I never quit my TC and using Ctrl+Shift+Down for showing Internal Association (2928) AND a menu letter for activating with Alt (&) I never use the mouse.
My Best Wishes,

There are features than can be used actively and other which make working less annoying.

The breadcrumb bar is the feature that I use actively very often.

There are other things that just make working more convenient. They either work out of the box or need some configuration. Internal associations, very long file names and Unicode file names and many details like skip unreadable files to name just a few (of many more).

I've never needed Unicode for 100% of my times but Cyrillic files names or Japanese ones (recently) was really annoying because they needed from me to switch to explorer. So... Russian and Japanese :)

1. QuickFilter
2. partly nonmodal sync window

I never got used to the Breadcrumb Navigation. Perhaps lack of what I expected as fast keyboard navigation. I am faster to choose parent folders by clicking the path and by navigating to subfolders with Quickfilter.

Since I'm using TC myself too, I will list my most-used new features too:
1. Quick search filter (Ctrl+S)
2. FTP password manager
3. Internal associations
4. Button bar via keyboard (Alt+Shift+F11)
5. Drag&Drop to breadrcumb bar

Quick search filter + Samuel's great "Google-like Quicksearch" add-on.

BTW, I must missed the point of Internal associations, but doesn't TC+F4Menu even better?

I'm currently using my own (Chinese) quick search filter dll for test purposes.

Can F4Menu use the same rules as Total or files extensions only?

TC extreme example: I can set notepad to open text files from December 2008 larger than 1MB, Notepad++ for text files not older than 1 hour and PSPad for the rest. I can also set different audio players based on Artist name or… graphic files with $work$ in comments opens in Paint.NET while the rest is handled by XnView :)

Wow, that's extreme! :wink:
I guess I get the point. Thanks.
What F4Menu can do is enough for me though, and I like its easy way to add new file extension.
