ShowFrequentlyUsed: How about expanding this functionality?

[KozakMak]

With ShowFrequentlyUsed we can just show/hide them. How about expanding this functionality?
1) something like ShowFrequentlyUsedBottom? after history
2) FrequentlyUsedLimit for limit lines that show?

1) something like ShowFrequentlyUsedBottom? after history

If you enable reversed order, the frequently used enries ar shown at he bottom

[KozakMak]

If you enable reversed order

how can it be enabled?

[ghisler(Author)]

Via right click context menu!

[KozakMak]

nice!

and how about limit Frequently Used \ last visit lists?

[ghisler(Author)]

The limit are currently hard coded. It records up to 200 and shows up to 30 in collapsed mode, up to 200 in expanded mode (Alt+Shift+Cursor down).

Edit: It's 30 in collapsed mode.

[KozakMak]

and shows up to 50 in collapsed mode

it's looks messy, hard to find needed one
for Frequently Used I would have had enough 5-6

As it is like a global history 5-6 is not enough, at least for me.
But a configuration for the number of entries may solve your need.

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
HistoryLen=6

... can narrow down the entries in the history in the part that is not in the "Run count" section.

Further commands (see: F1 help), e.g:
HistoryThinning=
HistoryThinningDelta=

[tuska]

A new command, e.g.

Code: Select all

HistoryRunCount=

could help to shorten the number of history entries that are NOT affected by HistoryLen=.

[ghisler(Author)]

There will be a new option in beta 2:
FrequentlyUsedLen=
This will allow you to control the number of items shown from the most frequently used list.

10.05.23 Release Total Commander 11.00 beta 2
08.05.23 Added: Wincmd.ini [Configuration] FrequentlyUsedLen=30 sets number of frequently used directories
                         shown in new history list (Alt+Cursor down) (32/64)

Thank you!

Example
wincmd.ini - section [Configuration]

Code: Select all

DirUsageLocation=%COMMANDER_PATH%
FrequentlyUsedLen=13		  ;Restart of TC required - tcDirFrq.txt is saved [or save with Configuration > Save Settings]
FrequentlyUsedLenStored=200       ;TC 11.00b3 - 17.5.2023
ShowFrequentlyUsed=1
ShowFrequentlyUsedMaxInMiddle=1   ;TC 11.00b3 - 17.5.2023
HistoryIcons=0		  	  ;TC 11.00b3 - 17.5.2023
HistoryLen=30
ReverseHistory=0
SaveHistory=1
HistoryThinning=1
HistoryThinningDelta=5000

'History (Alt+Down)' displays the set number of history entries (FrequentlyUsedLen + HistoryLen).

FrequentlyUsedLen is meant to limit the number of most frequently used paths shown in the history list.
When you press Alt+Shift+Down you still get the complete list as stored in tcDirFrq.txt.
To disable the function, use DirUsageLocation=0 or some other invalid name.
