clear history command
I made a feature request for a clear history comand and was forced to start a poll about it.
Sometimes I want to clear command line history as well as last searches and all tabs etc. e.g. when I want to create a new 'moveable' TC on CD (or USB STick etc.) or when I want to share my installation with a friend.
Now I have to open wincmd.ini and delete the entries in each section manually.
A cm_ClearHist could open a dialog with tickboxes for
- Commandline History
- Searchname
- SearchIn
- Searchtext
- Selection
- renameTemplates
- right path
- left path
- searches
- rename
- lefttabs
- righttabs
so one could select the sections to clear at once.
What do you think about it ?

It was according to postings depending new features where always at least one says 'it has to be optional' .

It was just my interpretation of "I don't care' because as a command can be used or not - it makes no sense to make it optional.Clo wrote:• Hum… Rather : I don't know, but "Yes" if it has to be optional. ???I don't know, but if it has to be optional.

To complement that---

Hello Stefan !
¤ To complement that feature, I thought that the actual command cm_ClearCmdLine might be changed, in order it removes really the current command-line contain from the list.
* A small dialog-box to confirm and an "Apply" button should do the trick.
* Isn't always necessary to clear the whole command-line historical, but only to remove some entries from it.

As long as @ghisler donsn't implement this feature you can use Ultra History Cleaner of ts4242.

thank you
Re: clear history command
I think that that is a great idea - or you could just delete wincmd.ini and let TC recreate it. I like the idea of selecting what history needs to be deleted.
Whoever held that gun to your head to force you to start this poll ought to be shot!Sheepdog wrote:I made a feature request for a clear history comand and was forced to start a poll about it.

Hm, so many years ago, and nothing to find about a ClearHistory in the actual version of TC
I'm just coming from WinCmd 5 to TC 7.5, and miss this feature! The WinCMD forget his history (Alt+Down) when you are closing the tool. But now, anything is saved. I think its a little work to implements a funktion with one Checkbox in the programm-options, which clear all historys after closing the prog. Isn't it? Please!

This "cleaning" can be easily done with any scripting language (PP, VBS, AHK...); no need to bother Mr Ghisler and to enlarge the application size. Voted for "No"
Single user license #329241
PowerPro scripts for Total Commander

In my opinion cleaning the MRU-Lists and wiping out the traces is a core-function of a File-Manager and shouldn't be transferred to a 3rd party program.Vochomurka wrote: no need to bother Mr Ghisler and to enlarge the application size.
For the developer it means little work, but for some users is privacy the most precious good.
So I have voted for: Yes, it would be very useful.
