Documentation for Tabstops seems wrong

[Dalai]

Hi there.

While updating TC for WinPE and changing various settings something caught my eye. The documentation for Tabstops says

Code: Select all

Tabstops=104,109,158,58,374,93
Tab positions: size, date/time, attributes, extension, comment, window width, size minus extension (only when extension was shown directly after file name)

suggesting that the sixth number - 93 in this case - refers to the window width. Let's take this to the test and insert this line into a clean wincmd.ini. I used the section of the current display resolution, 1024x768 for the VM I'm using to test the WinPE.

wincmd.ini:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
UseIniInProgramDir=7

[1024x768 (8x16)]
Tabstops=104,109,158,58,374,93

1. Start TC
2. Go to Options > Tabstops
3. The value for "Comments (fixed)" should be 93. Change it to 103 and confirm with OK
4. Check the value of Tabstops key in wincmd.ini. The sixth number will be that 103.
5. Make TC window half as wide and select Configuration > Save Settings.
6. Check the fixth and sixth value of Tabstops key. The former will change, but the latter will not.

If I'm not missing anything important, it looks like the explanation should be like this (window width and comments swapped):

Code: Select all

Tab positions: size, date/time, attributes, extension, window width, comments, size minus extension (only when extension was shown directly after file name)

I also changed "comment" into "comments" since it's always plural in the GUI.

This error is present since TC 10.0's help began to elaborate more on the Tabstops setting.

You are right, "window width" and "comments" should be reversed.

Fixed in 11.50 beta7 (English and German). Thanks.
