VadiMGP,

I thought so that You are working already on an update of Your great plugin.

I was not reading this thread all in total, so probably the errors I have encountered are all well known already, and on Your list to be fixed.

I am curious about next version.

Thank You.

TConsole 2.0 available.

Main changes are:
- TC 6 support
- Sound scheme support via Control Panel (you have to import .reg file before)
- Completely rewritten keyboard handling, including user-defined filter
Check readme for details.

You can download TConsole 2.0 from http://wincmd.ru/download.php?id=tconsole

Thanks for a new version. :-)
Seems to work nice and supports "%COMMANDER_PATH%" and Polish renaming (with spaces) :-)
I will try in the morning on WinNT - I hope it will be also ok.

First impression: Very good! I will test the new version entirely in the next days.

EDIT: So far I found the following things to think about:
  • TConsole.ini location is still wrong. This has been discussed enough in this thread.
  • The default font should be the same font that is used in cmd.exe
  • I don't have a windows keyboard. Any questions?
The impression remains - the new version is great! :)

It seems to work ok also on WinNT. Thanks again.
And thanks to Black Dog (I understand he helped to test it) :-)

BTW: It's become really useful plugin. I use it more and more.

IMHO it is the only right one.

Do you mean the font TCon use for German in your case? It should be Lucida Console. Yes, agree with you, I want Terminal for Russian too.

Yep. Why? Just buy it.

Just great?! It is brilliance.[/face]

Ini location: The ini is located in a directory where I don't have access when working as a restricted user. Read the entire thread for more details.

The font in cmd.exe is some kind of bitmap font. In cmd.exe I can choose between this bitmap font and Lucida Console.

Windows keyboard: I don't wanna buy a windows keyboard. The hotkeys in TConsole should be redefinable.

The ini located in the same directory as plugin, and this is absolutely right. So just install plugin by itself to the path you have "Write" access as user.

Sorry, I can't get from this what is your default font for cmd.exe. Name, brother.

Net glazok - net varen'ya i.e. you punished yourself. Make yourself a Christmas present...

Well, if you ask kindly, may be VadiMGP will add this in one of a next versions %).[/face]

This has been discussed in this thread enough - I don't want to write the same arguments again.

It's called Rasterschriftart (raster=bitmap, schriftart= font) on my german Windows XP Pro system. I made a screen shot. Take a look at my homepage.

I wrote I don't WANT TO buy such a keyboard. It's quite difficult to find new keyboards without windows keys, but it's possible.

Well, I can assure you that in TConsole case the things will stay like they are now. Actually that reminded me Russian proverb "chto russkomu horosho, nemcu smert'" - "the thing that is good for Russian is the certain death for German". %)))

L> I wrote I don't WANT TO buy such a keyboard.

Well, I certainly respect you position, but it prevents you from using shortcuts in TConsole.[/face]

Actually it is "Raster Fonts" in English - I was a bit confused with your "bitmap font" :). Well, I have the same settings and the same situation.[/face]

Hello there,

if I do a "DIR C:\" it takes between 2 and up to 5 seconds to execute this command within TConsole 2.0.
The list is built one item after the other.
(By the way, in C:\ I have only 9 files and 12 directories.)

Anyone of You have an idea why TConsole works so slow?
Any help would be appreciated.

This also occured with older versions of TConsole.

W2K SP4 all patches, german version, TC 6.01final, 1280x960, 32Bit screen resolution.

By the way I use Terminal font 9 points in my cmd.exe.

Thank You
Pete

Are you use Direct mode?
What about other commands?
What speed in real cmd.exe window?
2All
By default TConsole use Terminal font for ASCII and Lucida Console for other chars.

VadiMGP,

I have found the problem. It is so slow with any command and in any mode, because there seems to occur a problem with TConsole while running AVM KEN! Server at the same time.
AVM KEN! is a software to make internet accessible over the network with proxy, email, fax, etc. (like Jana server).

If I switch off KEN! TConsole works as fast as cmd.exe.

cmd.exe does not slow down while KEN! is running at the same time.
This is strange. Other TC plugins accessed by Network Neighbourhood (like PluginsManager, Services, Task Manager) do not slow down when KEN! is running.

Anyone running KEN! is able to confirm this habit?

Best Regards
Pete
