2 problems when using Multi-Rename Tool from listbox

Post by *jb »

Situation:
  1. Search some files/directories by "Find Files" (cm_SearchFor) and feed the search results to a listbox.
  2. Apply the "Multi-Rename Tool" (cm_MultiRenameFiles) on some selection in the listbox. This is a nice feature by the way.
Now TC 6.01 has the following two problems (bugs?):
  1. When you leave the Multi-Rename Tool the listbox will NOT be updated (unlike when the Multi-Rename Tool returns to Branch View which is quite similar to a listbox).
  2. It is not possible to update the listbox on demand by cm_RereadSource. In this case TC will leave the listbox and refresh the view that was visible before the search.

#1 and #2: Christian says that TC would have to repeat the search to refresh/update the search results

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Repeating the search completely would be one possible solution, probably the easiest one to implement, but not the fastest one regarding run-time. Anyway, at least a refresh on demand in listbox (and in branch view) would be helpful. The user should be able to cancel it at any time by pressing Esc, as during the compare function in "Synchronize directories", because also the refresh can be quite time-consuming, for instance when the search spans multiple non-local drives. This would be even more important in case of automatic refesh.

In branch view with a filter (which is actually also a kind of search) the automatic refresh after multi-renaming already seems to work fine!
