Is it possible first to use the %commander_path% variable? So you could even different TC installations adapt without browsing through directorys.ts4242 wrote: i will do the following
1- search for TC folder in HKLM and use it if exist and valid
2- if not found in HKLM then search for it in HKCU
3- if not found search for wincmd.ini file in windows folder and take the path from it.
4- if not found in these three locations no way i have to ask the user.

Drag and drop not supported now, maybe in the future.1. Drag and drop of menu items doesn't work on my system. Is it supposed to?
it is a real bug i will fix it.2. Possible bug: After I add a menu item, then select repeat from the context menu, the up and down toolbar buttons perform the repeat function instead of move. Maybe I don't understand what repeat is supposed to do? My menus have repeated commands in several different locations.
do you mean check box beside the command in the list?3. I like the idea of this program but find it unintuitive to use. I'm used to either drag and drop or buttons with arrows to add/remove items from a list. Perhaps a toolbar in the separator with appropriate "add" and "remove" buttons would be helpful.
Sorry but i will not complcate my program so far.4. A separate method of adding the hotkey combinations would be nice. Perhaps a "hotkey by example" approach? I would select a menu item, your program would prompt me to press the desired combination, I would do so, then your program would build the hot-key string and append it to the menu item in appropriate syntax.
from where i get %commander_path% first?Is it possible first to use the %commander_path% variable? So you could even different TC installations adapt without browsing through directorys.

any way i will think of that.i don't see any reason for such option coz the program will never start without knowing where is totalcmd.inc from registry or from the user. and as far as the program start there is no meaning to open totalcmd.inc from another location. do you agree with me?
I am heroically trying not to.Don't despair my friend!
Yepp... though, without any offence or bad feelings to anyone, it's discouraging to see so much traffic about a new tool which already exists from another author. I guess it's because the other TCME is more mature.You DO know your audience after all!
Yepp, I did, unless someone proves me wrong.How do you know? Have you travelled the whole WWW to make sure?
Of course there is... but concerning me being the over-sensitive, competition-hating, self-loving author of the other one, you picked the wrong one.Is there no best among two alternatives?
No. When the program starts first it asks for Total Commander Path. You wrote you want in future versionts4242 wrote:from where i get %commander_path% first?
do you mean adding option for that variable in options dialog? i said before
i will do the following

Oops, that's the prob... I am really ashamed now, sorry, I haven't remembered that you were the author of TCME, too long ago I checked that one.Of course there is... but concerning me being the over-sensitive, competition-hating, self-loving author of the other one, you picked the wrong one
Thank you very much for this wish.Anyways, good luck to ts4242.

, so excuse me for any mistake. 
Thank you for the praise.Your tool looks indeed more professional, better programmed, has no VB depencies, supports drag&drop, and has some very nice keyboard features, move up, move down, copy, etc...
I think it looks just like TC - more work has been spent on functionality than on looks. Never used gnutella, BTW.It looks boring and angry, it says "Leave me alone!" instead of "Hello, how can I help you?", just like the first version of gnutella, if you remember it...
- Font setting is an interesting idea, will take a look at it;What about a font setting (way too small for my taste), some colors, a real file menu, maybe a button bar?
I agree, any ideas welcome.It would be much easier to learn the shortcuts one by one by a look at the file menu instead of having to learn them through RTFM.
I never was angry, just a bit disappointed.I hope you try to understand my point of view now, at least a little bit. Don't be too angry, I'm just a silly user desperately waiting for some competition.
Well, I for myself like cooperation better than competition.Life is nothing without competition.

TIA

I'm used to see alwasy my german description, so I thought incidently you are displaying the cm_TccCommands instead of the description. Now, as you asked I had another look and see that i was wrong. Scuse me. But I'd like your program to display my totalcmd.inc for the german description of the commands. Or is it still possible? I would start with background coloring to make the structure of the menus more obvious. Headers, 1st level entries, 2nd level entries, etc...What way do you imagine having colors in TCME?
True, but where are left/right arrows for adding/deleting entries, up/down arrows for moving entries? If all actions would be available as buttons you could explain the corresponding shortcut as a hover hint.File menu - what for? I mean, everything can currently be done using the buttons and keyboard shortcuts
Buttons at intuitive places, middle for left/right and along the right side for moving will fit.Button Bar, err, again, what for?
