Solved [TC 10 b1a] inconsistancy in LOADSEARCH with autostart

[petermad]

12.08.20 Added: Command LOADSEARCH <saved name> (e.g. on button): Put one equal sign = in front of name to start searching immediately, two == to start and feed to listbox after search (32/64)

This new feature does not work well with parameter in an em_command

I compare it with an automatic synchronization start with SYNCOPEN= in a em_command like this:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_sync_auto]
cmd=SYNCOPEN=
param=?<default>
menu=Synchronize directories - autostart with default/saved settings
button=wcmicons.dll,48

it works well - and the user can enter the name of the saved sync.


But the equivalent LOADSEARCH em_command does not work:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_search_user]
cmd=LOADSEARCH=
param=?<default>
menu=Find files - autostart with default/saved settings
button=wcmicons.dll,47

It just gives an error message.


If I change it to:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_search_user]
cmd=LOADSEARCH =
param=?<default>
menu=Find files - autostart with default/saved settings
button=wcmicons.dll,47

with a space after LOADSEARCH - it does autostart a search, but not the one stated at the input field.

Could LOADSEARCH= please be supported like SYNCOPEN= is.

12.08.20 Added: Command LOADSEARCH <saved name> (e.g. on button): Put one equal sign = in front of name to start searching immediately, two == to start and feed to listbox after search (32/64)

But not after LOADSEARCH.
In order to avoid unnecessary actions, it's logical to offer button codes.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
LOADSEARCH
?==<default>
wcmicons.dll,47
Find files - autostart with default/saved settings and feed to listbox

Yes that will work, but it will look peculiar in the prompt and it is easier to delete the whole field and write the name of a saved search, than it is to delete everything but == or =

<default> also looks so-so. But I agree. Although it is better to choose from a large list (em_AutoSearch: LOADSEARCH/==%A > AskParam + TCFS2 /ef "tem(`em_AutoSearch %var%`)").

15.03.21 Fixed: New command LOADSEARCH=saved_search didn't work with "=" directly appended to LOADSEARCH, or with double quotes around the search name (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 10 b2
