is there a simple way to get a single pane view?

[neverthelesshello]

I would occasionally like to switch from the default dual pane layout to a single one pane view. Its sometimes useful to see the contents of your folder as one big pane - easier to view everything
Is it possible and cld it be set up as a button on the toolbar?

[Vochomurka]

Just drag the panel divider by the mouse to the leftmost/rightmost position.

[neverthelesshello]

Yes thanks I had figured out that method! but I was hoping for a better way. All that clicking and dragging with the mouse. There are so many menu options that i never use I would like a useful one to do this!
I was hoping for a command I could call via a button or a keyboard shrtcut.
I mean its sometimes nice to have one panel that is big rather than 2. Changing to windows built in explorer and then switching back is slow and surely you should be able to achieve this in a simple way with TC.
Am I the only one who would like this!?

Of course you are not the only one, it is long waited feature http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=10881

[neverthelesshello]

thanks for the link I have added my comment to it.

BTW, you may use TCFS2 - last versions allow to move separator. Just use following command line:

Code: Select all

TCFS2 /ei sp_set0
TCFS2 /ei sp_set100

(commands like sp_set100 must be defined in TCFS2.ini; predefined commands exist for 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% - add more if you need)

Or you may use direct command line with any value:

Code: Select all

TCFS2 /ef "set_separator(100)"

(here you may specify any value instead of 100)

That TCFS2 is super-duper useful. Thank you for it!

I was hoping for a command I could call via a ... keyboard shortcut.

See if this meets your needs for now: Alt-w,v
= Show Vertical Arrangement

[petermad]

See if this meets your needs for now: Alt-w,v

That might not work in several cases - for example when another language is used with TC or Quick-search is set up to use Alt+Letter.

But what you are suggesting corresponds to using the internal command cm_VerticalPanels from the command line, or a button, or a menu, or a remapped keyboard shortut.

Anyway, cm_VerticalPanels is not what topic starter wants.

Hi all,
I have the same problem... 12 years later.
I found this topic very useful but now I'm using the 64-bit version of TC, and the TCFS2 plugin is only available for 32-bit.

Fortunately, things have changed over the time, and checking the internal command list I just found thare are 2 useful ("new" ) commands in the "View" section:

• cm_100Percent (910) -> sets the separator to 100%
• cm_50Percent (909) -> sets the separator to 50%

I've put 2 shortcuts to them into the Icon bar, so I can switch between the 2 modes in a blink of an eye.

TCFS2 is not bitness dependend.
Its a Exe file which can be used in any TC version.

[MarekCzerski]

In my TC under Win10 64-bit the two commands advised below started working as required only when I removed the number in the parenthesis i.e. (910) or (909) from the command respectively.

[Fortunately, things have changed over the time, and checking the internal command list I just found thare are 2 useful ("new" ) commands in the "View" section:]

• cm_100Percent (910) -> sets the separator to 100%

Hi

TC is amazing. You just need to know-how.

cm_100Percent and cm50Percent are not sufficient to switch "nicely" between one and two panels view. You need to use cm_VerticalPanels too. So put these three commands up as a buttons group.

If you normally view your panels left-right and decide to have just one panel then press the vertical switch to view the panels top-bottom and then press the 100Percent button. Then everything looks as it should.

If you only press the 100Percent button when viewing left-right then TC doesn't adjust the columns automatically. In short, don't do that.

But I miss ( ~ haven't found any ) command to switch how a long filename gets shown. Normally TC just cuts off at the column edge, but it would occasionally be nice to view the start and end of a filename like 'my very long ... filename' instead of 'my very long and windy..'.

Two buttons can do it:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_VerticalPanels 1,cm_100Percent

wcmicons.dll,23
Vertical panels, One panel

and:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_VerticalPanels 2,cm_50Percent

wcmicons.dll,23
Horisontal panels, Two panels

To make the buttons:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".
