The difference between shareware and freeware with donation reminder screen is legal stuff.

[Sir_SiLvA]

Some new Bugs:

1. Yesterday I startet the Start- & Dir-Menu-Editor and got the NagScreen
Today after the second start I got the NagScreen again...

2. I wanted to change something like "cd E:\BackUp" to "cd D:\BackUp" but after tabbing out "cd D:\BackUp" was replaced with "cd E:\BackUp" ???
and only in Version 5.10 in 5.02 and 4.0 it works as it should ?

3. Bug 3 (and Reason for thinking to do some tool for myself) after closing Start- & Dir-Edi I startet The Conf Edi and got the Nag once again...
And after that I startet the Hotkey-Edi and got the Nag Screen again...
so much for every 12th run...

First I feel so sorry that I didn't mention for Mr Ghisler who appreciate my work too by giving me a TC free licence

See? this is shareware - This nag will only go away after paying for it = Shareware

Shareware nag screen popup each run while mine each 12 runs so it is less inconvenient

But It would be nice if this nagscreens are a "must" that one should be able to press 1, 2 or 3 without using tab or the mouse
(like its done in tc)

as i understand your'e going to live in peace with it OK no problem next release you will be able to press 1,2 or 3

Oh and please when will the dropdown-window in the start- and directory-editor become a true dropdown-component?
As my english is not the best - here you find an example of what i mean:
http://www.qfile.de/dl/47361/example.exe.html
a) is your dropdown
b) is the dropdown as I would find it much nicer

I see... but you must distinguish between two types of dropdown list
1- the standard one which you want
2- image dropdown list (where each item appear with an icon) is one of Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Common Controls

i use type 1 in Hotkeys Editor (keyboard keys list)
i use type 2 in Start and Directory Editor (program mode, shortcut dropdown list and window state dropdown list) because using icons here make the program look good beside it make it easy to know the program mode and to know if a command has a shortcut or not.
maybe you hate the cursor inside image dropdown list but unfortunately i cannot change this

1. Yesterday I startet the Start- & Dir-Menu-Editor and got the NagScreen
Today after the second start I got the NagScreen again...

i said it popup each 12 runs for each editor individual so yesterday you must be running Start editor and today you run Directory editor or vise versa

2. I wanted to change something like "cd E:\BackUp" to "cd D:\BackUp" but after tabbing out "cd D:\BackUp" was replaced with "cd E:\BackUp" ???
and only in Version 5.10 in 5.02 and 4.0 it works as it should ?

this is new behaviour in 5.10

[*] When selecting internal command or typing in command field, pressing <Enter> key required to apply change

this is because many users were complain from losing the command if they scroll the dropdown list by accident

3. Bug 3 (and Reason for thinking to do some tool for myself) after closing Start- & Dir-Edi I startet The Conf Edi and got the Nag once again...
And after that I startet the Hotkey-Edi and got the Nag Screen again...
so much for every 12th run...

this is by accident not else

Sorry but after that statement

"Ultra TC Editors is freeware and will stay freeware"

is completly untrue, cause
a) you wait for his support
or
b) I can live without users donation
But you cant claim both as you are doing here....

As you like the wikipaedia so much here a few links to clarify the difference between shareware freeware and donationware for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donation_Ware

# Donationware. The authors of donationware ask that anyone using their software make a donation to the authors or to some third party such as a charity. Because the donation is optional, donationware may also be freeware or fall into some other category.

So the main difference between freeware and shareware is: If you use shareware after the testing period you infringe upon the law. If it means anything to you.

Great utilities, is it possible to add a command line option to Ultra TC History Editor so that we can use it to automatically and silently, in the background,clean Tc history and then exit without any user interference in the process ?. Just like Mru blaster do with windows.

Thanks.

Good idea!
i think of passing the section(s) that you want to delete as a parameter list:
e.g. 1;2;5;8;11
these numbers refer to section number as it appear in the program left panel so you can translate these numbers as "Command Line; Selection; Find Text; Rename Search for; LeftTabs

or passing 0 to delete all sections

what do you think?

Great , maybe i'd add a new parameter to make a backup of wincmd.ini before cleaning it (automatically overwriting previous backups), thanks.

you can backup history sections from File> Export... and restore from File> Import...

Yes, but i was talking about the possibility to backup wincmd.ini when using History editor silently without user interference.

e.g. "History Editor.exe -1 -2 -5 -8 -11 -B -O"
will mean that history ultra editor will delete : Command Line; Selection; Find Text; Rename Search for and LeftTabs history entries, making a backup of wincmd.ini before cleaning (overwriting previous backups).
Thanks again.
 

[ts4242]

e.g. "History Editor.exe -1 -2 -5 -8 -11 -B -O"

it will be "History Editor.exe I=path_of_Wincmd.ini/ s=1;2;5;8;11/ B=path_of_backup_file"

I- if you want to clean another wincmd.ini file instead of the default one
B- must be provided if you want to backup before cleaning (because how can i know where to backup?)

I and B are optional
Overwrite param "O" has no meaning because backup to the same file will automatically delete the previous

[sas2000]

 

it will be "History Editor.exe I=path_of_Wincmd.ini/ s=1;2;5;8;11/ B=path_of_backup_file"

Brilliant
