complaint about dos names

Post by *freeman »

when i use something like that "/base:%t%n /mine:%p%n" in custom command it uses DOS names instead of full names

also in the custom menu editor there should be a possibility to test % values
if something is wrong you only see that the command doesn't work

about forgotten password recovery:
there should be only username or email not both!

use %N %P etc...

use this batch to test:

echo %*

Instead desired program use test.bat to see its parameters.

That is intentional. If you want to use the Long names you should use

"/base:%T%N /mine:%P%N" i.e the Uppercase letters.

Don't know what you refer to. Where in TC is a forgotten Password recovery?

I think the problem here is that the parameters listed in the "change start menu" dialog don't make a statement about that actually DOS names will be used.

Example:

Code: Select all

%n inserts the file name under the cursor

Press F1 (Tc-Help) than click at 'Start' -> 'Dialog box: Change Start Menu'.

There are all parameters listed. (In the help to 'Dialog Box: Change Button bar' they can be found as well).
