Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???

[Anncey]

"After using the new code above, I can inform that the code works OK,
and shows all the extra keyboard shortcuts etc, that you have added.

Could you try with some otther .mnu file from the installer like wcmd_deu.mnu - to see if that works.

What is the size in bytes of your wcmd_wng.mnu file? It should be 5072 bytes or maybe 5074 bytes
if you have a blank line in the end - if not the file may be in the wrong format."

Well, NOW TC9 is (finally) reading/using my .mnu file ...
So, thanks for your time/help with these "install" issues ...
I'll see what (if any) issues arise in the next 30days ...

Is customizing (adding/removing/"renaming items in") the TC ContextMenu possible ???
Thanx again ...

So, what solved the problem?

Is customizing (adding/removing/"renaming items in") the TC ContextMenu possible ???

Most of the context menu is generated by Windows, but the few parts that TC put in the context can be renamed via the .lng file.

Make a file named WCMD_ENG.LNG an put this in it

Code: Select all

English
2="New folder (directory)"
1089="&View"
1095="&Properties"
1439="New"
1718="Configure..."
1734="Pack files"

And then select "English (WCMD_ENG.LNG)" in TC's Language configuration (don't select "English") - when you do that wcmd_eng.mnu will automatically be selected as menu file.

You can now edit the items in WCMD_ENG.LNG to your liking.

"2Anncey

I really can't say for sure ...
I suppose could have been related to that issue you pointed out to me

[Anncey]

So, I'm back ... already ...
I encountered/remembered a(nother) issue with "porting" from 7.55a ...
My CustomColumnViews are not (initially?) "porting" ...

I (previously) installed a handful of .wdx/content plugins
& created thirteen (13) CustomColumnViews;
however, only columns from default _tc content options
are "working"/displaying in TC9x ...

What am I "missing" (doing wrong?) now ???

[petermad]

From the "Content plugins" dialog it looks like you should have 5 plugins installed. But that only shows what is registered in the [ContentPlugins] of your wincmd.ini file - but the files in thos directories might not be there, if you failed to copy them.

Also - and probably more likely, TC 7.55a was 32 bit, so your old plugins will be 32bit plugins, they do not work with 64bit TC. So you either have to install/run 32bit TC to use your old plugins, or you have to download and install 64bit versions of your plugins (most plugins are for both bitnesses now)

"So you either have to install/run 32bit TC to use your old plugins,

So, the/my existing PlugIn files were there in the TC9x64 "Install"
The PlugIn InstallProcedure was/is not (crystal) clear to me ...
SO, I manually added/removed PlugIn files and manually tweaked
(based on previous/existing entries) the WinCmd.ini file ...
Everything is (seemingly) working ...

Re: the PlugIn InstallProcedure:
Clicking "Install" on the .inf file does NOT do the install ...
I just created the SubDir specified in the .inf file
and copied over only the x64 plugin file ...
and manually tweaked (based on previous/existing entries) the WinCmd.ini file ...

[petermad]

You can usually install a plugin just by double-clicking on the downloaded archive - unless you have set AutoInstallPlugins=0 in your wincmd.ini.

my ToC HotKeys so that Ctrl-Shift-S takes me to S:\
What am I doing wrong / missing (n w)

Greets, (Earthlings) & thanx, petermad
This evening I (finally) "got around" to try (out) the above ...
without success (so far) ...

~ I downloaded the WCMD_ENG.LNG;
~ I selected the WCMD_ENG.LNG under Language;
~ ToC reported "SyntaxError" ... for every line;

atm ... all I want to do is change the ToC ContextMenu item: &View (Lister)
Image: https://i.postimg.cc/x1TXN0NL/To-C-20221213x1-View-Lister.jpg
Is there some Easy/Simple way ... to do that ???

It works fine here. Could you open the WCMD_ENG.LNG file in Lister, copy the first 3 lines and paste them in a message here?
