Selection from file in branched view with duplicate files

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Selection from file in branched view with duplicate files

Post by *buckley »

Hi,

If I load a selection from a file and apply it to a branched view that has duplicate file names, those files are not selected :

screencast.com [slash] t [slash] Gxc5FNTwTc8

(i cannot post url's it seems)

Kind Regards, Tom

I suppose this is because in branch view the "name" consists of not only the file name, but also the relative path.
This also works the other way round: having

Code: Select all

.\test.txt
.\1\test.txt
in branch view: select one of the files and call cm_SaveSelection.
cm_RestoreSelection only restores the selection for the previously selected file, not all files with the same name.

More a suggestion or feature than a bug, I would say.

Load selection from file doesn't currently support branch view. I will consider to support it in TC 7.5. Save/Load selection does support branch view, though.
