Total Commander 6.02 beta 3 available (public beta)

[ghisler(Author)]

Please use this thread only for BUG reports for beta 3, not for suggestions! It's too late anyway to add any new features to version 6.02 now.

if you activate an InPlaceRename but you want to change/select the WHOLE filename it would be great if you could press CTRL-A in order to do this.

Try Shift+End instead, it's a standard shortcut of every edit control.

A very small bug.
Multi-rename tool doesn't remember last used options, during the session. Only under Win98se.

For the asymmetric sync directory function, I'm not sure I like the idea of delete before copy. Are you only deleting the files that don't exist on the primary drive? Or are you also deleting first, the outdated files that will be replaced by newer files? If the former, then no problem. If the latter, then I'd like the option.

I'm using relative path in the button bar like %COMMANDER_PATH%\..\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe, but the right mouse popup menu item: cd %COMMANDER_PATH%\..\foobar2000\ doesn't work, it's a bug or feature in next version?

18.02.04 Added: Search: right click on result list item selects it and then shows its context menu

It works fine for files but not for directories.

2.
Quickview from zip files doesn't work for me. I don't know if this has been reported previously. External lister from within zip file works fine.

Since version 6.0, when I have multiple instances running of TC, these instances are numbered (in the Windows taskbar). Personally, I find this annoying and I was hoping for a setup function where I could turn this "option" off. So what I mean, if I open two Total Commanders, the first one is called "Total Commander 6.01", the second is called "[2] Total Commander 6.01". If possible I would like to remove the "[2]"

The setting is [Configuration] ShowInstanceNr=0/1.

Please keep in mind that Mr. Ghisler started this thread for bugs reports only.

Sorry, my mistake I see now. (won't happen again, if you will you may delete my posts)
Thanks anyway for your reaction, it works.

Fixed: XP bug: double clicking on empty space below file list opened file under cursor (Reason: lb_getcaretindex doesnt return error in this case as on other Windows versions

I think, it's not a bug, it's a very useful feature! Please, Mr. Ghisler, return this!

bug #1: when "Copy date/time of directories" is on, it does not function when unzipping a directory from archive

bug #2: cannot unzip&view (F3) more than one file with the same name (let have an archive containing "file.txt" and "folder\file.txt" and try to view them both in Viewer - the first one will be overwritten)

Hello Christian,
just wanted to remind you of
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=18300&highlight=#18259

it's not exactly a bug but rather an annoying feature, perhaps if you don't have the time to seperate the options you could just refresh the locked tab on startup even if noreread is turned on.

Cheers.

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Do you mean that it works only under Win98se, or that it doesn't work under win98se?
I have tested it on both Windows 2000 and Windows 98SE, and it works on both...

For the asymmetric sync directory function, I'm not sure I like the idea of delete before copy. Are you only deleting the files that don't exist on the primary drive?

I delete only those files wich are marked with a red "x". Those are the files which exist only on the right side, which is the side of the backup in asymmetric mode. This was requested by multiple users: They want to make space for new files on the backup drive.

I'm using relative path in the button bar like %COMMANDER_PATH%\..\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe, but the right mouse popup menu item: cd %COMMANDER_PATH%\..\foobar2000\ doesn't work, it's a bug or feature in next version?

Indeed this isn't currently supported, sorry. I will add it to my wish list.

18.02.04 Added: Search: right click on result list item selects it and then shows its context menu

It works fine for files but not for directories.

Indeed the function is currently only implemented for files. Why? Because the "open" function for dirs would open Explorer, and not work with Total Commander internally.

Strange, works fine for me! Anyone else having this problem?

This is clearly a very dangerous bug of the Windows XP listbox control - no other Windows version does this.

bug #1: when "Copy date/time of directories" is on, it does not function when unzipping a directory from archive

This feature is currently only supported for copying, not for unzipping. Why? Because in most cases, directories aren't really stored in archives, just the relative path to the files. Users wouldn't understand why a dir date would be set in one case and not in another.

bug #2: cannot unzip&view (F3) more than one file with the same name (let have an archive containing "file.txt" and "folder\file.txt" and try to view them both in Viewer - the first one will be overwritten)

This is a known limitation, because all files are currently unpacked to the same temporary directory. This is done so the system isn't cluttered with hundreds of temp directories.

Sorry, I didn't yet have the time to separate these two features...

Found a bug in the internal ZIP unpacker. The directory structure is not unpacked with the ZIP file. Works like this:
- install Total Commander 6.02beta3
- download "http://miranda-im.org/download/feed.php?dlfile=326". Should get a file called "alicebot.zip".
- Enable the option "treat archives like folders"
- go into the "alicebot.zip" archive
- Mark all files
- Copy files to temp directory

The files are all located in the temp directory although most of them should be located in the "temp\alicebot" directory. Note: The directory IS created, but the files are not in it.

Loris

 Hello !
• I don't confirm. That works just fine at home for me :
- Open <alicebot.zip>
- Mark all files AND <alicebot> sub-dir inside,
- Launch "Unzip" command (from a button in the toolbar),
• All files and <alicebot> sub-dir are unpacked in the target-dir in the other pannel,
• <alicebot> sub-dir contains alright all files *.aiml that it does.
- Win 98SE - P2 350 - SDRAM 320 MB.
• What OS are you using ?

 Best regards,

I'm using win2000 on a NTFS drive. Unzipping the file "y:\temp\alicebot.zip" to "y:\temp\a", so the filename-size should not really be a problem.
