To TC author
In copy dialog when I use TC with resolution 1440*900 or 1280*1024 I have height of list in combo-box "Only files of this type" 8 items.
With resolution 1680*1050 this height is 16 items or maybe more (I clarified - 30).
On screen with resolution 1440*900 or 1280*1024 enough space for list with height more than 8 items.
Can you increase height of this list?

I guess, you are still using WinXP. Well, in Windows Vista+ there is no ScrollBar (Microsoft's decision) and the ComboBox always shows all 20 items (TC's limit). And by the way, I have a notebook with 1366x678 display and those 20 items can fit on the screen just fine.

Yes. Windows XP with specified resolution (1440*900 or 1280*1024) shows only 8 items with scrollbars.
But my home PC (Windows 7 x86) with resolution 1680*1050 shows 30 items. But with scrollbars. My list includes 35 items (20 "types" from history + 15 predefined templates which starts from '>').

Windows 7 (in VirtualBox) with resolution 1265*531 - also displayed 30 items.

I mean, I think it's Ghisler's decision to make only 8 items visible without scrolling, but ScrollBar in Vista+ ignores that and tries to show more. On the other hand, TCx64 always limits the number of visible items, even on newer Winows versions (probably because it's based on FreePascal).

These particular qualities are clear to me, but I think that there are ways to show more items in combobox, regardless of operating system.

This is a known problem of the 64-bit version which will be fixed in the next.

I talk about 32-bit version only.
