drive letter upcase/low case

SailorMax · Post by *SailorMax » 2012-04-06, 16:37 UTC

Sometimes TC output with path up cased drive letter, but some times it in lower case.
my drive C: is NTFS. Ctrl-P => c:\
my drive D: is FAT32. Ctrl-P => D:\
my drive Z: is mounted samba disk. Ctrl-P not tested, but F4 (edit) => sometimes files has path with "z:\path...", but sometimes "Z:\path..."

I always get lower-case letters at all drives - NTFS, FAT32.
TC 8.0 b24 (both x32 & x64).
But, if only I write upper-case letter in dir path directly - it becomes upper-cased untill I change drive to another.

Hello, SailorMax. Hello, MaxX.

In order to configure this bug, you may use the two parameters which the helpfile explains in section 4b windcmd.ini:

totalcmd.chm section 4b wincmd.ini wrote:DrivesExportUpcase=-1 1: Export drive letters uppercase when using e.g. cm_CopyFullNamesToClip, or when running programs (in program name and current directory)
Note: When DrivesShowUpcase is set and DrivesExportUpcase isn't, it gets the value of the former
DrivesShowUpcase=-1 1: Show drives uppercase in various places like the drive bar, drive list, current path etc.

Note: The correct bug values for the two parameters are:
-1 ... do not care, display drive letter in lower case or upper case as returned by an API call
0 ... display drive letters in lowercase always
1 ... display drive letters in uppercase always

You may want to add/modify these bug configuring parameters in the file wincmd.ini, section [Configuration] and restart T.C. thereafter.

Kind regards,
Karl

Oh, by the way, this bug was introduced much earlier than T.C. 8.0 beta on user request: T.C. 7.50 public beta 2.

There are two INI settings for controlling drive upper/lower case DrivesShowUpcase and DrivesExportUpcase

Confirmed, there are. Introduced by T.C. 7.50 public beta 2

TC doesn't care about uppercase/lowercase drives if you don't set these variables. Please just report bugs when you set it to lowercase but TC shows or exports it as uppercase, or vice versa.

I don't have listed variables (DrivesShowUpcase and DrivesExportUpcase) in my Wincmd.ini; What default values they use?

Today all my drives output in lower case. Continue to test...

SailorMax, read the TOTALCMD.chm's section 4.b to get default values of all parameters. However, as Mr. Ghisler stated,

TC doesn't care about uppercase/lowercase drives if you don't set these variables.

I have DrivesShowUpcase=1 set in my wincmd.ini and all drive letters in TC are in upper case for me.

OK, MVV has already told you where to find the explanation. Yet, I had done so, too, some posts before, addressed explicitly to MaxX and you: here. I had quoted the relevant section of the T.C. helpfile. Might be a good idea to read replies a bit more carefully.

Hm... Tried this - got big drive-letters EVERYWHERE in TC.
Btw, needed upper-cased letters in copied names work good.
How can I get upper-cased letters in copied list but NOT in TC's GUIs?

MVV · Post by *MVV » 2012-04-13, 13:42 UTC

MaxX,

Code: Select all

DrivesShowUpcase=0
DrivesExportUpcase=1

Have a look at one of my previous replies, here. The answer to your question is there:
+ DrivesShowUpcase=0
+ DrivesExportUpcase=1

Thanks, works good.

MVV,
Thank you. The information you are giving is very useful!

Hello, Roman.

MVV,Thank you. The information you are giving is very useful! :)Roman

What ever you are trying to tell me, the simple fact is that any post below this one just parrots what has been explained in the quoted part of the T.C. helpfile.
But very likely this, too, is a common pattern of behaviour which will not be changed: ask questions, but do not read the replies carefully, if at all.

Cheers,
Karl
