No more sound played when saving file edited from FTP

Post by *Stv »

I tend to edit files live on a server a lot by going to the file, hitting F4, editing the file, then saving the file and letting Total Commander automatically upload and overwrite the edited file (introduced in 8.50). In the previous version I had installed (9.10?), this would be accompanied by a sound being played if Total Commander was not the foreground application, equivalent to the 'Windows Background.wav' sound.

After updating to 9.20, this file is no longer played. I did go into the sound settings in Control Panel (aside: not a fan of Microsoft's desires that developers would use this - anything that takes you out of native config is jarring) and tried to setup both 'Total Commander > Copy/Move complete' and 'Transfer complete'.
Neither ends up playing the sound.

Copy/Move does affect file copy/move locally, which I promptly disabled again.
Transfer does affect copying a file from local to the FTP server, but definitely not when edit->save->auto-upload.

Did I miss a (new) setting somewhere? The change log doesn't seem to suggest anything new in this area.

Thanks for your report. I can confirm that there is no more beep in this case. It's not an intentional change. I will check what the problem is.

The problem is apparently that all dialog boxes now have the WS_POPUP style, and then GetActiveWindow returns the dialog even when the dialog is in the background. It seems to work when using GetForegroundWindow, though.

Missing beep after automatically re-upload changed files

Post by *iztoks »

Hello,

after TC upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 there is no more beep sound after I save file and TC automatically re-uploads it to server. It's same on WIN 10 and WIN 7 computer. I'm using external editor to edit files and re-upload them via FTP/SFTP. I have tried custom sounds options without success. It was working fine until this upgrade.

Is this a bug or I'm missing something?

Thank you.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Is there anything we can do by ourselves to enable this feature? Any ETA for fix in future releases? :)

No you can't, sorry. I'm working on a TC 9.21 now, but I'm still gathering bug reports.
