/S parameter doesn't work when new TC instance is opened

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

/S parameter doesn't work when new TC instance is opened

Post by *MVV »

When I use following command line when no TC started, TC opens and jumps to file always in left panel:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD.EXE /O /S /T /L="C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll"
It seems that TC jumps to a file before it makes right panel active according to ActiveRight=1 INI option. It is expected that TC will jump to file in right panel on start when ActiveRight=1.

The /S switch only works with already running TC copies. There is a hint about that in the help: For use with /O.

Ok, so TC just ignores it when it is not running. BTW, I think it is not so hard to support it also for new instances - it will improve similarity.

OK, maybe in a later release. For now I will move it to "will not be changed".
