Simple suggestion for brief view...

[SamiRaj]

Is it possible to make the brief view to always show one row so it scrolls up/down like the full view? It would be nice if they would behave the same way i cant use the brief view right now even though i would like to use both brief and full.

Sometimes it is nice to be able to se more of the filename without increasing the windowsize.

Hope you consider to add this as an option in the wincmd.ini if there isnt one already.

Make a file with a name longer than 65 characters and place a copy in each folder, so you would see even in brief view only one row.

If you open
Configuration->Display and select 'show filename in filelistas tooltip if truncated'
you will see, as it says, a tooltip of the filename if truncated.

Excuse me but that is the most stupid workaround i have ever heard. Then ill just keep using Full view instead

Sure but i also want to scroll up and down not to the left and right. I dont think this change is more then a couple of minutes of work for Mr Ghistler.

I could not imagine the benefit of this behavior, because I think it's one of the advantages of the short view to see more files without to scroll in the window. Independent of my view I tried to show you a way to have the behavior you desiredinstead to tell you that your wish is the most stupid I can imagine.

And I think there's also no need to insult me for trying to help you (using a smily makes your words not fewer sharp).

If you scroll up and down you move automatic throught the rows next to each other. Theres no need to scroll left and right.

Well i like scrolling a couple of lines at the time. And as i said i wanted it as an option, ofcourse it shouldnt replace the standard behaviour.

Your suggestion is more of a hassle and its not a complete solution for what i asked for so how can i take it seriously?

You probably think totalcommander is perfect already and have some kind of need to defend it against improvements...

It works in the way you asked for, it makes

brief view to always show one row so it scrolls up/down like the full view

How can you expect that one can bring you a solution if you don not describe what for? D'you think here is a froum of clairvoyants?

The proposal of SamiRaj makes sense. Horizontal scrolling is just not intuitive at all and it's completely useless when there are thousands of files in the folder.

Although

Excuse me but that is the most stupid workaround i have ever heard.

doesn't sound very nice (you shouldn't be so direct...) it's true. The proposal to place a 65 character long file in every single folder on a system is just so funny and not serious that I wondered where the missing was...

Don't take everything so serious, life is short enough.

Although I still don't agree with this opinion I never said it doesn't.

Maybe it sounds funny but it works (as a workaround). I didn't mean that he actually should browse to each folder and make such file but to create a button with 'copy '65character_File' %P' or so. And each time he desired to see brief view with one row he could push the button. Or even make a batch with 'if exist... del else copy' - so he could switch.

Do you know this problem? Think the solution sounds ridiculous but it works, too.

I don't use to ignore bad manners if I see them.

It doesn't matter if you put a file in a folder with 20, 40, 60 or 65 characters, still the file view and scrolling is horizontal only and that is exactly what SamiRaj does NOT want...

I don't see any workaround in your solution. Don't forget that 65 characters means nothing when not using a fixed font like Courier and the resolution doesn't fit yours...
All it maybe does is making the columns wider so that only one file name is shown at the same time but this has nothing to do with the problem.

I got it. You're right. I didn't notice the 'jump' between the rows.

Ok sorry i might have been rude... probably not the first time it happens . Im glad to se that somone else seems to like the idea.

Well i just hope i havent scared of the author from the thread... Just hoping to see the best tool for my computer improve just a little bit further.

I really cant imagine how much time this application has saved me in total.

Yeah that seems to work pretty well but the positions for Name and Extension dont change according to the width of the application. I need to adjust them whenever i resize. (I have set to show Extensions aligned after tab stop)

But im gonna try a little more and see how it is working!...

Thankyou!
