Why TC is locked when box pop up!

Post by *zhxeeaa »

Why is the search box, button box, file associated box... when it pops up, the TC will be locked and cannot be operated. For this reason, sometimes I need to close these boxes for copying or view, and reopen this boxes several times. Why can't just keep these boxes topped? :?:

That's because they re-use parts of the main program (e.g. ftp search in search box) or modify the main window. They are called modal dialogs in Windows.

You can Search in a separat process with Alt+Shift+F7 (it is also in the menu).


You can use this button to run a separate (non-modal) Synchronisation:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=S
%Z%X "%P" "%T"
wcmicons.dll,48
Syncronize Directories (separate instance)


-1

This button can be used for Synchronisizing only selected files:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=S
%Z%X "%P" "%T" /O=%L
wcmicons.dll,48
Syncronize Directories (separate instance), only selected


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