Surprising functionality of inplace rename confirm. button

Inplace rename confirmation button is very usefull. I'm missing this button at the end of "inplace path changing dialog" ('Show current directory' in Configuration-Layout).

But now, without this button, I found second way (first is ENTER on some mouse button ofc.) how to paste path from clipboard and "make" ENTER without touching a keyboard:

- slow double click on some file/directory (I advice you some at the bottom of list)
- - now we see inplace rename dialog box with confirmation button at the end
- now make slow double click on path (at top of TC dirs/files list window)
- - inplace rename dialog box ofc. disappear, but confirmation button is still with us!
- paste from clipboard (using mouse) new path and click on this lovely confirmation button

Enjoy! :)

And Mr.Ghisler please keep this functionality. Or can you add confirmation button (smaller ofc.) at the end of changing path dialog box too?

That's definitely a bug that should be fixed. Operations should not leave any artifacts behind. However about your feature request - I don't care, someone might find it useful.

Offtopic
Interesting: Does it mean, that the confirmation button just sends ENTER to the main window?

Funny bug. :D

Damel,
You can use my AskParam to edit path using mouse, just make buttonbar button:

Code: Select all

Command=AskParam.exe
Parameters=/c"Edit Path" /t"%P" /p"Set active panel's path:" "%%COMMANDER_PATH%%\TOTALCMD.exe" /o /s /l="%%1"
Also I think you can find some tool that can read clipboard text and pass it as parameter to other program, so it will be possible to go to copied path via a single click.

Hmm, I can only make what's described by Damel happen with the 32-bit version and only under Windows 7 x64 not under Windows XP.

I confirm that TCx64 cancels path edition if it is started while in-place rename dialog is active.

But I can reproduce this bug under Windows XP too. Even with clean INI.

I can reproduce it too with InplaceOkButton=1 under Windows XP.

Under Windows 7 I can reproduce it with both InplaceOkButton=1 and InplaceOkButton=2 - but still only with 32bit TC 8.01

Fixed in 8.01rc2 x32 (Windows 7 SP1 x64). And thanks for:

27.06.12 Added: Show inplace rename confirmation button also in current dir bar (32/64)

Edit:
2 MVV: Interesting way. I will be happy to see some other examples of using AskParam from your own button bar. I hope, that the aren't secret. :)
