i have that problem too. the history list came up completely random even i was doing some other things in other windows and TC was in background. it never happened in pb3 and before. the pop-up times has decreased in RC1.

I have the problem too! Yes, it's occured randomly.

Sorry, as long as I cannot reproduce it, I cannot fix it either. I've been running TC 7 beta for many weeks now without a key, and never had this problem.

It's really random. I can meet but I can't beg!

One clue is the position of pop-up is also random, it's not same as using alt-down or click button.

Good News!

That phenomenon seems already nonexistent in RC2.

Better news: It have never been!
The Weird history list showing.. was related to a very unofficial Total Commander Powerpack .
Even the english spoken part of the polish forum for TC PowerPack (English) knows about that: annoying popup directory hotlist

Edit: Better news: (Part 2)
ghisler(Author) offers a free registration in exchange if he can then reproduce the problem!:o

As you can read in the answer in that thread you mentioned it's not related to TC PowerPack you can find at totalcmd.pl and totalcmd.net.
Another pack (AFAIK Russian one) with the same name has appeared and it's related to it.

thats why I have linked to your (unofficial

) TC PowerPack and forum!
I guess one of the guys from samlab.ws can receive a free registration now!

Not really - I offered a free registration only to someone who can reproduce it with an unregistered and uncracked version of TC.

totalcmd7.0rc3 has this problem again.

Post by *ghisler(Author) » 2007-04-22, 10:15 UTC

Please add the following string to your wincmd.ini under section [Configuration] and then restart Total Commander:

HistoryDebug=1

Then please report what error messages are shown.

No any error message is shown except when I really press ALT+Down.

Christian means the situation when the history menu appears without your explicit calls. Does TC show any messages in this particular situation, and if yes - which ones?

I mean no error message pop up when the history menu appears randomly.

Post by *ghisler(Author) » 2007-04-25, 14:41 UTC

Well, I have put a call to MessageBox everywhere in the program where ShowDirHistoryMenu is called.

Are you sure that you get the history, and not some other kind of list, e.g. directory hotlist (Ctrl+D) or something from Windows?
