[bug] Buttonbar Path

[790]

I have in wincmd.ini:
Buttonbar=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Basic.bar
Then I want to change one of my many toolbars.

Change button bar:
Button bar >> (browse..).
Choose a different panel, make changes.
Again: Button bar >> (browse..).
Asks "Save?" , click "yes"
Asks about "make this BB the new main BB?" click "no"
Choose the main Basic.bar.
Again about "main BB?" click "yes"

...and Buttonbar=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Basic.bar
immediately changed to
Buttonbar=D:\TotalCMD\Basic.bar
It`s very bad! Always I need change it in other comps! Please FIX it.

Well, it is hardly a bug, but an inconvenience.

But, I support your request for keeping %COMMANDER_PATH%, if once set for this option - also when changing to another bar located anywere under %COMMANDER_PATH%.

Also I understand, it`s not a serious bug, but maybe it's time to fix it?

Sorry, TC cannot know when you want variables, and which, and when not. Just choose "No", because then the path is not changed.

Sorry, TC cannot know when you want variables

I think that if a variable is already used in wincmd.ini, TC should be able to recognize that, and continue to use the same variable when the buttonbar is changed, just as TC does with plugins.

Sure, would just need to do a search replace on the new path.

If old path contains an Environment Variable,
--> Expand Variable.
If new path matches the expanded variable,
--> Replace matching path with Environment Variable,
--> Confirm Dialog: Use Full Path, or Path with EV.

Oh it's amazing! Choose YES - the toolbar will be main, choose NO - also, the toolbar will be main! What is sense of asking?

[Balderstrom]

The other option would be yet another ini config setting:

Code: Select all

ButtonBarPath=%TCData%\GUI\Toolbars

Then
1) TC would store the path relative to the "ButtonBarPath" - So long as the new toolbar is contained within that path,
2) Otherwise an absolute path is stored.

Further, the Change Bar dialog could have a button to switch to the "ButtonBarPath" if the current bar is an absolute path: to the right/or left of the current [>>] button.

790,

Choose YES - the toolbar will be main, choose NO - also, the toolbar will be main! What is sense of asking?

It will not be main but it will remain being shown. After a restart of TC the original main bar should be shown by default.

If you click No, TC won't write path to this bar into Buttonbar parameter in wincmd.ini's [Buttonbar] section.
