[Feature Request] Add Windows Login dialog to access `As User` additionally to `As Administrator`

[andry81]

If try to access a directory inside the `Users` TC automatically suggest to access as a Administrator.
The side effect of this method is a timeout after that you have to access again and find the subdirectory again.

Is there a chance to add the Window Login dialog to access as a user (may be selected automatically based on the directory main credentials)?

I'm already supporting "As user" when a user without administrator privileges tries to run an elevated command. Why would this be useful for admin users, who already have all the rights?

The timeout can be customized:

Code: Select all

AdminTimeout=180
Determines after how many seconds of inactivity tcmadmin.exe (used for copy/delete etc. as admin) is terminated. Special values:
0: no timeout
-1: disable copy as admin completely

PS: Directories don't have credentials, but users do.

The timeout can be customized:

Then add a checkbox to the dialog with button `As administrator`: `No timeout` or something like that.

Administrator might not has all rights. For example, TrustedInstaller user is more powerful

TC can't provide all available options via the GUI - it's very rare that programs can do that, usually such programs don't have a lot of options. Besides, the timeout option does what it's supposed to after setting it once.

I don't like to change a global setting to imply a local.

What you could do is run Total Commander itself as a different user. Use a button with the following command:
Command: **%COMMANDER_EXE%
Parameters: /S %P %T
