Is it possible to add cm_ with parameters in main menu ?

[jonathanpoulin]

Hello there !

Is it possible to add a cm_ command with parameters for a main menu item? I tried but Total Commander raise an error with starting up.

I would like to add a menu entry under "Files" to restart Total Commander, like that:

Code: Select all

MENUITEM "&Restart...", cm_Exit 9

TC don't like the trailing "9" (the parameter).

I tried also like that but to not avail:

Code: Select all

MENUITEM "&Restart...", "cm_Exit 9"

Maybe the only way to do it is to create a new em_ command calling the cm_ with parameters, and then add that em_ on the main menu.

You are right in your last comment about making an em_ command.

Make the following entry in your default 'Wcmd_xxx.ini' file in your 'Language' folder):

Code: Select all

[em_Exit9]
cmd=cm_exit 9
menu=cm_exit 9

Change: 'MENUITEM "&Restart...", cm_Exit 9'

to:

Code: Select all

MENUITEM "&Restart...", em_Exit9

You have shown a lot of interest in TC menus and icon handeling lately - maybe you should try my Extended Menu (link in my signature). The Extended menu handles almost everything that you have addressed recently here on the forum. Hint - for getting icons for many of the extra items in the menu, you can run the Extended Menu item "Help" -> "Install Addons for Total Commander" - it will install alternative icon .dll and .inc files.

I don't say that you should use the Extended MEnu permanently, it is just for inspiration - and all you have to do not use the Extended Menu anymore, is to change the language in TC back to what it was via TC's configuration dialog.

Thanks for your reply. I have already done that and it's working perfectly.

Yes, I am really interested in getting TC menus and icons perfectly fit my needs.

I will take a look at your Extended Menu for sure, at least for inspiration like you said.

At the same time, I really like when I have total control on things, like customization.
