[Stefan2]

Hello Christian,

I want to remind on this often need feature.


Additionally to
cm_EditNewFile >> Create+Open new text file

I would like to suggest a parameter

This is implemented now, many thanks to Mr. Ghisler.

https://www.ghisler.com/history1100.txt
10.05.23 Release Total Commander 11.00 beta 2
07.05.23 Added: cm_EditNewFile with parameter 1 now creates a new file without opening the editor.
Uploads new file to ftp or file system plugin if it doesn't already exist there (32/64)

Testes on Win11 and it works for me from TC command line and also from an button.


SYNTAX
-- "cm_EditNewFile" is the internal command to open an existing file in the configured editor (F4), and first create the file, if not already present.
-- Use "cm_EditNewFile 1" to create a new text file, but don't open it instantly in the configured editor.

Most useful for myself too, for to create new text files just as notice, now w/o the need to close the disturbing popping up editor.





ATTENTION

"cm_EditNewFile 1" used on an existing file will open the dialog ,
pre-filled with the name of the existing file as usual,
but does nothing after clicking on the [OK]-button.

It works as designed. But maybe you want to ignore the "1"-parameter if used on an already existing file?
That would prevent the need to create two buttons // use two commands for to work with the files.

No, only because in both its about the same internal base command.

can this please become adjusted?

"cm_EditNewFile 1"
> if the entered filename doesn't exist yet, created it but don't open the editor (due to the '1') >> implemented
> if the entered // pre-filled-suggested filename already exist, just open it for editing >> this doesn't work right now


Thank you
