No help for new cm_copy parameters

[Horst.Epp]

The history says
27.04.23 Added: Internal commands cm_copy and cm_renmov now support optional parameters to set copy options, target, wildcards and option to start immediately (see Help - Dialog box: Choose command) (32/64)
Under this entry, nothing is documented for the possible parameters of cm_copy ?

What are you talking about? Where else do you think we get them for testing and discussing bugs, other than on the specified help page?

Fine if you see them, I don't
This is what this help entry contains for me (I searched for cm_copy parameters in it):

Code: Select all

Dialog box: Choose command
 
This dialog box allows you to choose an internal command from the file totalcmd.inc, and to define new commands stored either in usercmd.ini or a language-specific wcmd_lng.ini.
 
Field Description
 
Category: Category of the command. All commands are listed in the first category "All"
 
Command: Name of the command
 
Nr: Numeric value of the command
 
Description: Translated description of the command
 
Filter: Allows you to show only commands containing the specified word
 
Only on the pages usercmd.ini and wcmd_lng.ini:
 
New... Define a new extended command em_xyz. An extended command can be used to call a program with parameters also from the main menu and with a hotkey.
 
Edit... Change an existing user-defined command.
 
Delete Delete a user-defined command
 
Rename/Copy... Allows you to rename a command, and to create a copy of a command under a different name
 
Note: A command can be copied to the clipboard with Ctrl+C in the list of commands. Ctrl+Shift+C copies the entire line with the description.
 
List of internal cm_x commands which support a parameter:
 
Note: * stands for LEFT, RIGHT, or SRC
CM_LIST,
CM_LISTONLY,
CM_LISTINTERNALONLY: Specifies the name of the file to be opened in the Lister. Supports the same options as the command line parameter /S=L:parameters. Must be passed before the name, and start with a slash / (without the part S=L: of the command line parameter), e.g.
CM_LIST /T1V file_name for text mode, variable width font
CM_LISTMULTI,
CM_LISTINTERNALMULTI Like CM_LIST, only supports parameters plus one file name maximum (optional)
CM_WAIT Set the delay in milliseconds to wait until starting the next command
CM_SELECT,
CM_UNSELECT,

Obviously, you have help from a previous version, not 11. See INSTALL.CAB\e\TOTALCMD.CHM.

[petermad]

Well it is in the English Help: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/choosecommandhelp.png

But I can confirm that these commands are not yet listed in the German totalcmd.chm help file shipped with TC 11.00b7 https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/choosecommandhelpgerman.png

EDIT - I was wrong - the German totalcmd.chm file is updated correctly in TC 11.00b7

Thanks for the tip.
My problem was the old English TotalcmdDark.chm

The installer does contain the new German help. However, it doesn't get installed when you install a language other than English. You probably have a wcmd_deu.chm file which you put there yourself.

it doesn't get installed when you install a language

I know that - the problem was that I accidently copied the INSTALL.CAB\d\TOTALCMD.CHM to Language\Wcmd_deuDark.chm instead of to Language\Wcmd_deu.chm, so it was still the old Wcmd_deu.chm that was used when I switched to German language.

[ghisler(Author)]

So are there still any missing cm_Copy parameters, or can I move this thread to fixed bugs?

[Horst.Epp]

For me no problem, can be closed.

No problems here either - An d is so pleasing for the eye that the Help now shows the cm_commands in CamelCase instead of all uppercase - thank you.
