I meant to use the already compiled version posted by hi5; like I said, I don't know Autohotkey and its syntax (at the moment I have no time to dedicate to it) and therefore even less how to compile.

I'll be staying with F4Menu.


Many thanks for your time and effort.

Just adding a WinWaitClose at https://github.com/hi5/F4MiniMenu/blob/master/F4MiniMenu.ahk#L110 probably works just as well :-)

Code: Select all

; End of Auto-execute section
WinWaitClose, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
	ExitApp
Return

Thank you, but I hope it's not too much trouble.

There's no rush. Take all the time you need and do it when you feel like it.

I assume that you use F4MiniMenu.exe and your settings file is F4MiniMenu.xml - Am I right?

@Axis is there anything in particular that appeals to you in F4MiniMenu compared to F4Menu? (Just curious)

Suggestions welcome :)

Hi hi5.

For now, I haven't looked at it (very busy), maybe this weekend.

I'll let you know any suggestions after I play around with it for a bit.

Only a mega-noob question :oops: : should I enter F4MiniMenu.exe in Configuration --> Edit/View --> "Editor for F4" (To get it started with the F4 key), right?

Thankkks

Hi, it's always me :shock:

I'm trying to create a well-formed F4MiniMenu.xml file with hi5's compiled version and then I'll try to pass on OVG's.

Two questions: F4MiniMenu.exe (hi5's) is not automatically launched when the total commander is opened, right? If yes, I'm first forced to start F4MiniMenu.exe which will then launch TC (option "Start Total Commander if not Running"), right?


Thanks

1. Yes
2. Yes

Try http://totalcmd.net/plugring/autorun.html - this plugin gives ability to run any program when TC is started

You should place line

Code: Select all

ShellExec "drive:\Path\F4MiniMenu.exe"
into autorun.cfg file

Change drive:\path to your actual path to F4MiniMenu.exe

Hello folks :)

A little curious thing that I found.

Total commander 8.52 x64's process is running on my system (win8.1 pro x64).

In the meantime, if I start "F4MiniMenu.exe" (hi5's, located in c://TotalCommander9.22a/utils ) with Its "Start Total Commander if not Running" option enabled and TC Path with " c://TotalCommander9.22a/totalcmd64.exe ", totalcmd64.exe doesn't start. It works if Total commander 8.52's process is not running.

Thanks

1. Only the name of the process is considered. The path in this case is not taken into account.
2. You can't have two instances of the F4MiniMenu at the same time.

F4MiniMenu.exe's istance is always only one (Its "tc path" is always only c://TotalCommander9.22a/totalcmd64.exe).

Thanks
