The 2 files are equal.
I think the downloaded file just gets the current date from your browser or from microsoft skydrive.

a) Can you run the program from Explorer?
b) Can you use the features of QSx in TC?
c) Is the small GUI shown when you use QSx?
d) Can you open the big GUI by clicking on the up-arrow-button?
e) Could you open the tcmatch.exe of 2.0.0?

many thanks

[vic2009]

Sorry for late reply.

a) Can you run the program from Explorer?
No.
b) Can you use the features of QSx in TC?
Yes.
c) Is the small GUI shown when you use QSx?
No.
d) Can you open the big GUI by clicking on the up-arrow-button?
Can't because of c).
e) Could you open the tcmatch.exe of 2.0.0?
Yes. 2.0.0 works fine.

FYI, I'm running win2kpro sp4.

I changed from AutoHotkey to AutoHotkey_L in 2.0.1.
It seems like it doesn't support Windows 2000. I requested it there.

I could create an additionally tcmatch.exe in AutoHotkey, but I dont like to create and bundle 2 different tcmatch.exe files. (AutoHotkey doesn't support Unicode.)

[vic2009]

Sorry to hear that.
I don't use the small GUI. As long as I can edit settings through tcmatch.ini, it's fine.

[Samuel]

You can. There is no other disadvantage, but the missing gui.
I will follow the discussion there. Perhaps there will be a new version...

hey, how could I build your source code on my PC, win7 32bit?
I tried with VC6, and got many errors and warnings.

Have you given any thought to make a version for DOpus?

[Samuel]

Visual studio 2008 should work.

Have you given any thought to make a version for DOpus?

No, I only use TC. I also do not think DOpus has an similar plugin interface. Without it you can do nothing.

OK~thank you all the same.

DO is powerful except that it doesn't support Chinese PinYin quick search. I wanna learn the PinYin match from your code.

Make sure following in your tcmatch.ini, and file tcmatch.tbl in the same folder of tcmatch.ini:

Code: Select all

use_pinyin=1

Thanks for perfect QuickSearch! I very like it, but can you please add an option to first mach beginning of file name and then - inside all file names? IMHO it will be more useful in such case by example (looking for "backup"):
...
blablabla_backup.zip-
...
backup_10.zip
...
Thanks!

Eagle did write the request above in the guestbook of my homepage.

If I understand it right, then he wants something like here:

Can I configure QSx to match all files or folders starting with what i search for and when there is no more match, start looking inside a file or foldername?

What is not possible as written here:

No.

There are technical reasons for that:
TC sends every file in the directory to QSx one by one. All QSx can do is return a boolean (0 or 1) for each file. (filter it or don't filter it)

If I would get a filelist, something like you suggested would be possible. - I also thought about a rated result. QSx then would return a number instead of a boolean. First show all results of group with number 1 then of group with number 2, group with number 3, etc.

Group 1 could be: Files with correct case and starting with the filter.
Group 2 could be: Files currently found by QSx simple search.
Group 3 could be: Files found by QSx similarity search.

This would be great, but currently TC lacks support for grouped results in the QS plugin.

Things you can do:
To search in subfolders press ctrl+b to open branch view and search again.
To search the content of files you may use content plugins in QSx. See the according section in the help file.

I like the idea of different result groups, but its technically not possible.
I would appreciate if Christian would consider to make this possible.

Currently it is possible to switch match beginning in the GUI as a workaround.

Please tell me is it no possible to manage it in next way:
Start a search for symbols, saving results.
If item starts with the symbols inputed - select it
If item contains the symbols inputed - store it to internal list
When there are no more search results - check internal list and select the file contains the symbols we need

Is it possible?

P.S. Anyway it will be great to know that file list is represented as node list where are .First, .Last, .Next and .Prev

[Samuel]

Sorry this is not possible.

As I wrote above:

TC sends every file in the directory to QSx one by one. All QSx can do is return a boolean (0 or 1) for each file. (filter it or don't filter it)

If I would get a filelist, something like you suggested would be possible.

I can neither affect the sorting nor change the filterstate of a file after deciding the first time if it should be filtered or not.

Ok, anyway thank you for answer. And for such nice search addon too!
