[implemented] [TC 10,50b1] "*.%S:~-0,-255" does not work as expected

[petermad]

After the fix of this bug: viewtopic.php?t=75396 this button works fine:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
SELECTFILESS
"%S:~-0,255.*"
wcmicons.dll,39
Select all items with same base names as selected items - hold Shift down to also select folders


-1

It would be nice if this could also work:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
SELECTFILESS
"*.%S:~-0,-255"
wcmicons.dll,39
Select all items with same extensions as selected items - hold Shift down to also select folders


-1

It works when I select one file, but not with more than that - the *. prefix is only appended to the first selected filetype - not like with the first button where the postfix .* is appended to all selected filenames.

*.%S is not supported either, sorry.

*.%S is not supported either, sorry.

Could it be ?

[ghisler(Author)]

It would be very difficult, because it would not be clear which parts before %S would have to be combined with each name, and which would have to be added only once. Currently only 4 placeholders in front of %S are recognized: %P, %p, %T, %t.

[petermad]

Couild it maybe be made to work with "prefix%S" that is - if no %P, %p, %T, %t is used and there is "" around it

It is logical to ask in your topic of suggestions. No?

Implemented in TC 11.50 b1:

29.04.24 Added: Button bar, start menu, parameters field: Better handling of parameters %S, %R, %P%S and %T%R in double quotes with prefix text: "beforename%Sbeforeext%Eafterext" inserts string 'beforename' before the name, 'beforeext' before the last dot and extension, and 'afterext' after. (32/64)
