solved [TC 11.03] Illogical sequence of parameters in the Help for Change button bar / Change Start menu

[petermad]

In the Help for "Dialog box: Change button bar" the item %Q is placed in-between the list parameters - it should be placed before the %v parameter.

And the %WL,%WF parameters should be placed before the %UL,%UF parameters to reflect the order in the "header" of this section (%L, %l, %F, %f, %D, %d, %WL, %WF, %UL, %UF) - or maybe better: the header should be changed to: %L, %l, %F, %f, %D, %d, %UL, %UF, %WL, %WF

This also applies to the Help for "Dialog box: Change start menu"

Sorry, some of the parameters are grouped together because they are often used together, it's not alphabetical.

petermad is not talking about alphabetical.

petermad is not talking about alphabetical.

Exactly - I am talking about why the Q parameter is listed in between the List parameters.

And I am talking about the header of the list parameters (the line with: "%L, %l, %F, %f, %D, %d, %WL, %WF, %UL, %UF") is not in the same order as the following single list commands.

The reason that I am addressing this, is that I one day wanted to see the definition of th Q parameter, and it took me a long time to find it because it was "hidden" in between the list parameters.

This should be fixed in Total Commander 11.50 beta 1, please check it!

Not quite fixed in TC 11.50b1 - the sequence is correct but the indentations are messed up:

Change Start menu help: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/changestartmenuindent.png

Thanks, I can reproduce it. Looks good in the editor but bad in the compiled help. It seems that there are some extra tabstops which cause this. The German help is OK, though.

[petermad]

The German help is OK, though.

Yes, for this, but the Start menu help has a problem with the indentation of the %S command - and both German helps has a problem with the %B+, %B+0..%B+9 header

This should be fixed in the help of 11.50 beta 2, please check!

Confirmed fixed in both English and German Help for TC 11.50b2
