Total Commander

A button to "clone" an entry in the "Define colors by file type" screen. The extension should be asked (as usual) and then, in the "select color" dialog, the color should be automatically selected to be the same as in the entry being cloned, or perhaps the dialog should not appear at all.

Right now this can be achieved by editing an existing entry, adding the color to custom colors and then add a new entry. "Cloning" just makes the process a little faster.

A "clone" button could also exist in the "change * menu" - screens.

I agree. There could be a new button "Duplicate" to create new item by one click . No asking. Automatically. And then user can edit duplicated item by yourself by clicking Edit.

It would be like the "Duplicate entry" button in the FTP dialog

H Christian.

Any chance for that one?

Reasonable suggestion imho, would be nice to implement it.

A pretty easy way to deal with the matter, tho (especially if you have lots of entries to duplicate):

- Open wincmd.ini with Notepad or whatever
- In [Colors] section locate the entry you need to duplicate
- Copy / paste it
- Edit count number of the entry and desired file extension accordingly

For example,

ColorFilter2=*.exe
ColorFilter2Color=13421823

duplicates as

ColorFilter3=*.NNN (new extension that you need)
ColorFilter3Color=13421823


Hope that might help. I don't know, however - perhaps these manipulations will take as much time as the method described in the starting post.
