Extended Menus for TC 11.55 - Updated June 25th 2025

[ts4242]

There is no need to enter http://madsenworld.dk/index-uk.htm?wincmd/index-uk.htm for this.

That link is provided by petermad in first post, there is no link for actual files.

[petermad]

I have now changed http://madsenworld.dk/index-uk.htm?wincmd/index-uk.htm (and http://madsenworld.dk/index.htm?wincmd/index.htm ) to link to my own page in stead of to totalcmd.net

How can i uninstall?

[petermad]

How can i uninstall?

"Preferences" -> "Language" -> choose your previous language.

If you want to get rid of the installed files, you delete all directories and files in TC's Language directory with the name pattern wcmd_WinversionProcessorarchitecture_1or2_Language.*

For example for the Windows 10, 64bit, English version of the menu delete:
wcmd_win10amd64_eng\
wcmd_win10amd64_1_eng.lng
wcmd_win10amd64_1_eng.mnu
wcmd_win10amd64_1_eng.inc
wcmd_win10amd64_1_eng.ini
wcmd_win10amd64_2_eng.lng
wcmd_win10amd64_2_eng.mnu
wcmd_win10amd64_2_eng.inc
wcmd_win10amd64_2_eng.ini
wcmd_win10amd64_eng.txt
wcmd_win10amd64_eng.zip
wcmd_win10%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%_1_eng.lng
wcmd_win10%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%_2_eng.lng

Hello Petermad!!! Today I updated from TC 9.21a to TC 9.22 RC2. Can I use the last upgrade of your Extended Menus without any problem or should I wait for a new version? Thanks a lot in advance!!!

[petermad]

You can use the current menus with TC 9.22x without problems.
I will release a v. 9.22 of the menus once the final version of TC 9.22 is released, because I have some other changes, which has nothing to do with the version of TC

April 7th 2019 - I have made a silent update to all the English Menus.

Amazing work !
It's a really great showcase for TC's mini commands, subtle feature and it's amazingly extensive - A great way to learn more about TC !
Kudos

[aviasd]

I have a question about the option: Run Separate instance of -> total command...
I'm running TC with a custom ini filename (Using /i option on startup ). When using this option the wincmd.ini is chosen for the new instance.
Is there an option to modify this option to open another instance with detection of the current ini ?

Then you have to manually edit the wcmd_*.ini file in TC's Language folder and change the commands: [em_ext_newcommander] and [em_ext_newcommander1] to:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_newcommander]
cmd=%COMSPEC% /C
param=%X%Z if exist %P%N\ (if exist %T%M\ (start "" "%%COMMANDER_EXE%%" /N /A /i="%%COMMANDER_INI%%" "%P" "%T") else start "" "%%COMMANDER_EXE%%" /N /A /i="%%COMMANDER_INI%%" "%P" %T%M) else if exist %T%M\ (if exist %P%N\ (start "" "%%COMMANDER_EXE%%" /N /A /i="%%COMMANDER_INI%%" "%P" "%T") else start "" "%%COMMANDER_EXE%%" /N /A /i="%%COMMANDER_INI%%" %P%N "%T") else start "" "%%COMMANDER_EXE%%" /N /A /i="%%COMMANDER_INI%%" %P%N %T%M
menu=Open New Instance of Total Commander
button=%COMMANDER_EXE%
iconic=1

and:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_newcommander1]
cmd=*%COMMANDER_EXE% /N /i="%%COMMANDER_INI%%"
param=%Z%X "%P" "%T"
menu=Open New Instance of Total Commander as Administrator
button=%COMMANDER_EXE%

Notice that there are 2 wcmd_*.ini files for each version installed of my menus (4 files if you have installed the combined 32/64 bit version) - I recommend that you change them all.

There are actually 52 - 54 other commands that needs to be updated to work correctly with a custom ini file. I will put these changes in the next version of the menus which will be released shortly after the final version of TC 9.50 is released

But, Why are you using a custom ini filename on a permanent basis? Maybe it is not necessary

[aviasd]

Thanks for that You actually saved me some time. I just read about the %commander_ini% option.

But, Why are you using a custom ini filename on a permanent basis? Maybe it is not necessary

I use specific ini mainly for directory hotlist.
In my work, I work on many workstations/servers and TC is setup on a share so whenever I want to use it on another computer I run a batch file that opens the specific %computername%.ini with all it's server's specific hotlist. (If it's a new computer I first copy a generic.ini to %computernam%.ini )
This is the solution I came up with for specific hotlists, Maybe there's a better one

[aviasd]

This is the solution I came up with for specific hotlists, Maybe there's a better one

Maybe I figured it out - I can use the RedirectSection=hotlist-%computername%.ini option for my purposes !
Very elegant. did not know it existed...
