For those who can't wait for 5.51...

[DarkRuleR]

Congratulation! Christian!
It's all TCers day today. Thank u!

Yet, 2 questions while reading history.txt.

1. "Added: Shortcuts Ctrl+Left/Right arrow (with+without shift) to in place edit of path"
What does it mean? Don't Ctrl+Left/Right arrow "Open directory/archive and display it in the target window. If the cursor is not on a directory name, the current directory is displayed instead."? I tried and they do as they were.

2."Added: Single click on active file window title allows to change / copy /paste the current dir"
Where is "active file window"? Beg ur parden for my english understanding.

1. With this option you can get the content of the directory (or archive) in the other panel.
Example: When you have the cursor in the left panel on the c:\windows directory and you press ctrl+right you open the c:\windows directory in the right panel.

2. The "active file windows title" is the bar above "Name Ext Size Date Attr" buttons.
Its the bar that display's the current directory off that panel.

Have fun...

And Christian great work as usual...

1. "Added: Shortcuts Ctrl+Left/Right arrow (with+without shift) to in place edit of path"
What does it mean?

This remark was for the new feature of inplace-editing of the current directory/path. When you click on the active path, it will become editable after a short moment. You can now use Ctrl+Shift+Left arrow or Ctrl+Shift+Right arrow to select one subdirectory at a time, e.g. to remove it (to switch to a higher directory) or to copy only a partial name to the clipboard.

They are "only " 14 new functions in this new version (see below), BUT when C. Ghisler improves one an existing function
, he calls it "Fixed", and real Bugs and Fixed total to 143.

So there is about 157 improvement on this version; not bad

New in Vers 5.51
1; '\' button now goes to root of file system plugins too
2; 'Left arrow' in tree view either collapses subtree, or (if already collapsed) jumps to parent directory
3; "Skip all" support when deleting also in case of a sharing violation
4; 650 MB and 700 MB default CD-R sizes to split function (btw, you can enter any value you want by hand)
5; Better handling for TAR files containing hard links: If target exists on harddisk, copy it to the hard link location
6; Button to add Lister plugins
7; By default, the archive bit is now set when renaming files. To turn it off, add wincmd.ini [Configuration] SetArchiveBitOnRename=0
8; Call CoInitialize in thread extracting special icons in the background
9; cm_CopyNetNamesToClip copies file names with UNC path to clipboard (Network drives only)
10; cm_usermenu1..cm_usermenu10 to invoke the first 10 commands in the starter menu (e.g. for hotkeys). You can define more in totalcmd.inc.
11; cm_xxx commands now also work in directory hotlist (Ctrl+D), e.g. for cm_opendesktop
12; Ctrl+A selects all text in comment edit box (unfortunately the beep cannot be suppressed)
13; Display name of plugin in lister's title bar when a lister plugin is used
14; Double click on file pair in "synchronize dirs" opens "compare by contents" (was already available via right click)

Thanx for this new version, its really great

Amazing ... the install still fits on a floppy and is even smaller than 5.50.

That means the INIRELOC.EXE now fits on the floppy too !

@Hakarien

you list is not complete at all and misses for example
the Search enhancement which allows you to include / exclude directories.

If you really look into History.txt you find the complete list.

the install still fits on a floppy and is even smaller than 5.50.

It's smaller because all files are now inside a single CAB file! CAB uses solid archives, and benefits from multiple similar files.

History.txt is now available for download here!

Cool feature
I think it deserves a more thorough explanation. I didn't get the remark in HISTORY.TXT straight away either and I found no explanation in the online help.

[Hakarien]

You are right, I scr up; the extract command or the cut /paste misfired ? Sorry. I hope this one is better

nice list,thank you... gonna test it all!

Note to people who don't know what is wcmzip32.dll : The standard zip library included in TC installation does not support archiving with password. There is non-official library that does support it - so you can open and create zip archives created with password encryption.

Where is the non-official library available? I think it was told in the old forum, but I can't remember.
