[BUG] history button doesn't show the history menu

[ts4242]

if there is a very long path in the left/right history that cannot fit in one line, the history menu doesn't popup at all

the path length is vary depend on the screen resolution and the font size

here is an example in 800x600 and font size is 10

Code: Select all

[LeftHistory]
0=C:\
1=D:\
2=C:\123456789\123456789\123456789\123456789\123456789\123456789\123456789\123456789\123456789\123456789\12345\

Unfortunately this seems to be a general limitation of the Windows popupmenu. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Shorten the path to fit the menu.

you can use PathCompactPath function

but it seems to me that TC doesn't use shlwapi.dll library, if so, it is not difficult to emulate this function

Hello !

…but it seems to me that TC doesn't use shlwapi.dll library…

• Sorry, wrong. TC uses it. Simply run Process Explorer to check

- It's used for the files sorting, and we had a nice surprise a long while ago about the natural sorting under Win 98,
Lefteous knows that very well…

Thanks, I missed it, maybe because TC not linked to shlwapi.dll directly but through Shell32.dll

so, things are easier now

I just tried it with very long paths both on XP and Win2k, but there was no problem, the menu always showed up. What Windows version are you using?

[ts4242]

What Windows version are you using?

I'm using Win ME Version 4.90.3000 Build 3000
BTW: the problem is exist too in TC 6.55

I think it's better to truncate the long paths even if there no problem on XP

fixed in beta 3
