WatchDirs=10 + Auto-Refresh

[Hurdet]

I set
WatchDirs=10
but Auto-Refresh when actiating the program not work.
Do is possible to have Auto-Refresh on focus and WatchDirs=10 Together?

I set WatchDirs=10

Why

Code: Select all

WatchDirs=0 Controls the function of automatic dir list updates. It detects when programs other than Total
Commander add, modify, or delete files shown in the active file panels. Just add the following numbers:

1: turn option on (default: off)
2: also detect changes to size, date, attributes
4: put newly added files at the END of the file list (default: sorted)
8: don't react to updates while TC isn't in the foreground
16: Update footer (total number of files). Warning: May be slow in large dirs!
32: Update header (free disk space). Warning: May be slow on large harddisks!
256: Beep on each auto-update (useful for debugging)

So it has to be either 9 or 11

Do is possible to have Auto-Refresh on focus and WatchDirs=10 Together?

No, because WatchDirs=10 is like using WatchDirs without turning it on (2+8)

but I would WatchDirs only when TC focus.

[Sir_SiLvA]

but I would WatchDirs only when TC focus.

I got that
As I said before:

So it has to be either 9 or 11

9 = 1+8
or
11 = 1+2+8
but it never can be 10

You still have to add 1 to turn on the other settings for WatchDirs.

1: turn option on (default: off)

Maybe you should use the GUI to set the options - then you will see that WatchDirs=10 disables everything: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/watchdirs10.png - while WatchDirs=11 probably is what you want: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/watchdirs11.png
