Help file needs updating

Post by *ts4242 »

Hi
the help file "Settings in the file wincmd.ini" topic needs to be updating
there are some keys under "Configuration" section not listed in this topic
Ex:
DriveLib
LanguageIni
ShowParentDirInRoot
DirTabOptions
DirTabLimit

i don't know if there are others or not?
I hope this help topic updated in the next version and include all setting keys

:) Hello !
I hope this help topic updated in the next version and include all setting keys
• Waiting for this, you could consult the Tutorial, in wich there are some items you request. Indeed, only these for which I could get descriptions…
- There is also a topic about the internal commands : <totalcmd.inc>, missing in the Standard Help for size reasons, I guess.

:mrgreen: Kind regards,

Thanks for your efforts in Tutorials, but in principle the official help "Settings in the file wincmd.ini" topic must be updated to reflect the latest info.

:) Hi !
¤ I know, so I said "some items", not all. I'll update when I'll receive informations from the Author…
* You may note that is missing and send that list to me via e-mail, all helps are appreciated with regard to this so big job… I'll add if documented, or else I'll ask to the Author if isn't (that occurs sometimes…). :P

here you are 2 new missing keys (thanks go to Vadim Kazakov)
AccessTime
CompareIgnoreRepSpace

read TC History.txt to confirm
15.12.03 Added: wincmd.ini, [Configuration], AccessTime=1 lets TC work with the last access time instead of the last write time, e.g. for copying files last accessed during the last x days
&
- wincmd.ini, [Configuration] CompareIgnoreRepSpace=0 turns off ignoring of repeated spaces in compare tool

I prefer to send these missing keys here to share with others maybe others discover new missing keys

:) Hello !

¤ Thank you ! I saved and I will add these entries as soon as possible.

* Note : I can add in the French .HLP file and in the Tutorials (all), but not in the English & German .HLP files (I've not the sources and the compilation scripts…) This is the private Author's domain ! :wink:

There are in addition:

CopyDirTimeStamp =
CopyCompatDrives=
FirstFTPSync =
firstmnu =
InstallDir =
LastRunAs=
listname =
TabDir=
UnicodeListWarn=
WipeDir=


It would be nice to get some info about these keys. Some of them I think I can interprete as:

CopyCompatDrives= the driveletters for which TC should use Compatibility mode for copy
Installdir= It's the installation directory of TC, same as in the registry
Lastrunas= contains the username who started TC as last with 'runAs' command
ListName = Is the name of the Last used FTP -list
WipeDir= Path to the temp directory used by TC (and to wipe
before close TC)

@ghisler
is this correct? And what about the others?

There is also a bug with calling help file when you are in Configuration option in FTP tab.
While you choose FTP tab and press F1 it calls correct help for "Configuration - FTP" but if choose FTP tab and put focus to any option in it (eg. "Create a log file") it calls "Configuration - Misc.".

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Thanks, I will try to fix it. It seems that the dialog items have their own help ID stored somewhere...

When I open the listplugin.hlp file, its caption tells me it is about file system plugins :)
Well, not a bug, but a mistake :wink:
