Add the description as default TC comment

[eugensyl]

According to my wish list for the new year (2010) I have a small one:

Add the description and version of .exe files as default TC editable comment, or make this optionally.

Maybe a plug-ins can solve this problem.

I know, this option can slow down old computers.

No one program can change version of another program w/o patching its executable... And what description did you mean?

It's about FileDescription or ProductName and FileVersion for exe files.
Now I copy by hand (copy / paste) this information from properties.
I want to copy those informations as comment because I often rename exe files.

It is a standalone add-on named TCEditCommentExtended but 8/41 antivirus report as virus this file.

Something like this can be a small improvement inside TC, by design.

You can set the file comment by the change attributes dialog. Use File Descriptions plugin to read the version and description of your executabale file. The following example code goes to wincmd.ini

Code: Select all

[attrplugin]
filedesc=tc.comment := "[=filedesc.Version info.File description]"

Thank you! I know.

But this doesn't add the comment to TC comment file (descript.ion). Optionally, of course, with a mask.

Actually I have a lot of drivers self-extract archives and now it's hard to identify what kind of driver is inside, but the comment show exactly what is for.

Instead of your example I want [=tc.Comment] filled automatically with [=filedesc.Version info.File description] .

The coin was down during this post reply!
TC already have this option.

cm_SetAttrib - Add attibute - [=filedesc.Version info.File description]

My little wish is already done. Thank you Mr. Ghisler!
