Total Commander

Please add an option (switching key for ini) to disable message with missing objects.
I often do not need to know about missing paths, only the output of what is found is important.
Especially since the window is limited to show a large number of such paths.

+1 and a checkbox in the dialog "ignore further errors" would be nice so you can choose each time how you'd like to process the list.

in the dialog

Why do we need a dialogue here? It is supposed to be fully silent mode.

@fla$her My preference would be to alert me for missing files, BUT something I wouldn't need to know, so I would keep the current behaviour e.g. warning on first missing file and then have a check box there saying "ignore further missing files/errors" - that way I can quickly decide which behaviour I want at that time.

Otherwise if I turn it off in the ini: I never know if something is missing.

If there is a switch I need to 'call' or think about using I have to think about it in advance each time. Although this might work

LOADLIST=0 files.txt
LOADLIST=1 files.txt
LOADLIST=2 files.txt

0: current and default behaviour: show all errors
1: ignore all errors silently
2: show dialog with checkbox option to ignore further errors

In this case, clarify. If the ignore checkbox is set, then the message should stop appearing always or within the current session only?

Indeed only for that session / use of the loadlist command. If I call it again, it should be shown again on first error and allow me to tick the box.

Say I have a third party program prepare a listfile e.g. results.txt, I load the results, do something, run third party program again, do the same loadlist results.txt command -> show me the checkbox again.

In this case, the consistency with other ТС dialogs, where sessions are not taken into account, will not be preserved. The author is unlikely to support this.

Just putting it out there, if more people request something along these lines the higher the chance something will be implemented.

Undoubtedly. But the author himself must understand which things are more expected, although there is some problem with this.
Nevertheless, the moment with sessions is doubtful, otherwise it will have to change the concept in all dialogs with options, which will clearly slow down the implementation of my little request.
And, of course, doing 3 commands for the sake of one option is impractical. Only by editing ini.

Thank you so much for the update to LOADLIST in

12.04.22 Release Total Commander 10.50 beta 1
13.10.21 Fixed: LOADLIST filelist.txt did not find directories when their name didn't end with a backslash (only when more than 10 items were in the same directory) (32/64)

It's not the same, but it is possible to work around this on a line to line basis. By using this notation:
c:\test\*"filename"
(see here)

This uses a wildcard but still searches for exact match. And wildcards don't give an error when nothing is found.

Thank you!!!!!!
