Total Commander

I won to copy big files. I dont won to do it all in one time.
In COPY add new option: Add to copy process list.

Discussed many times. Use F2 instead of Enter in copy dialog, or make using background transfer manager by default. You should add this to your wincmd.ini:

Why don't you add such an important and "many times discussed" choice as a checkbox into the configuration dialog under "Operation, copy/delete"?
I was looking for it and found this article as I wanted to make a feature request about that configuration option...

Well, this option is important for you and for me, but unimportant for others.

Adding all available options to the settings dialog will end up in a dialog with 90 % unimportant options, requiring a 60 " monitor, hard to find the personal favorites.

You can find almost all settings at TC help: Ini-File Settings wincmd.ini

Disagree.

There are too many options which can only be changed by editing the wincmd.ini directly. AlwaysCopyInBackground is one of them.

Hope that one fine day Christian will take the time to re-organize the structure of the configuration dialogues and add such options as well.

It would be nice to have ALL options configurable from the Config. TC is the only program I use that I have to manually hack the .ini file : which is nothing short of a PITA since it (TC) needs to be closed when you do so, which means you have to go to explorer and find the file

Balderstrom,

since it (TC) needs to be closed when you do so

Actually it doesn't.

Perhaps, Hacker, but since TC doesn't have a Re-read .ini many changes you try to make to the wincmd.ini while TC is running wont take effect.

Now if TC doesn't actually overwrite those changed settings when you close it down, then that's cool. So then it's just a matter of reorganizing everything on the taskbar so TC is back where it's supposed to be

I think that it would be great if TC will have some admin parameter window like in Unreal ('99) (when you type preferences in console, see sample): a simple dialog window with just parameter tree (or maybe placed into separate tab in Configuration) - each INI section as tree entry, with all parameters inside with change and add new parameter ability (here all groups should be present, even absent in INI).

Awesome idea, like a "RegEdit" of the .ini file. Each item could even have a CommentStyle tooltip and/or TabStop that displays the comment -- which would contain a blurb from the helpfile as to what the setting is for.

Make your changes to .ini, close TC, and save changes to .ini. That's how i do, no problem. And for rearraging the buttons, i use TaskArrange, although there are many others progs which can rearrange the buttons on taskbar.

Nice tool, and size is good:) I knew that it is possible to rearrange buttons by hiding/showing windows in some order (starting from first to last of desired order - sometimes I did it in this way) but I didn't search for special tool. BTW, Windows 7 has internal possibility to drag taskbar buttons to rearrange them, but unfortunately it always shows windows of similar process (e.g. two instances of TC or Notepad) one near another and doesn't allow to insert some window between them at all.

MVV,
Well, Taskbar Shuffle FTW.

Roman

Cool stuff, I had been using TrayMenu by Iglyph for many years (will continue as it's a convenient tool/location to hide taskBar program windows) -- but those are much more useful for quickly changing a few TaskBar positions without having to hide-all and restore one at a time.

this "problem" has already been solved so many times...

my two favorite ways:

1) there are many programs in which you can choose the detail level of the configuration options (I think, Firefox TabMixPlus and Azureus Vuze are two of them, but without any warranty). There you can choose between "Beginner", "Advanced", "Expert".
When you choose "Beginner", only the most common options are visible, e.g. Mouse-Selection-Mode (right or left button, explorer-delete-method and so on).
"Advanced" could map the current configuration dialog.
"Expert" should include every feature of wincmd.ini as disussed above.

2) Could also be combined with 1)
Simply add a "Search"-Field on top of the configuration dialog as Eclipse does in the upper left corner or Windows 7 does in the upper right corner.
In both mentioned examples, it works very well!
