Good to hear

• Added two more Lister plugins to the Lister menu item in the 32bit version.
• Updated totalcmd.hlp file,

Nyt:

• Hvis DOS-baserede menupunkter ikke kan udføres i de aktuelle mapper, vil der blive givet et advarselsbip, for at indikere hvorfor det intet sker, når der klikkes på menupunktet.
• Føjet yderligere to Lister plugins til Lister menupunktet i 32bit versionen.
• Opdateret totalcmd.hlp fil.

Is there a solution for multiboot systems using the same TC install? i.e: Windows 7 & Windows 10 installations.

I can't find a system variable for the OS version.

There isn't a default variable for the OS version in Windows. But if it is on computers you use regularily (as you multiboot system) you can add an environment variable to the system yourself:

Call the variable for %WIN_VER%
Set the value to either: win7, win81 or win10 while under the respective OS.

Download this:
http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/win_ver.zip

Copy these two files form the zip-file to your TC Language folder:
wcmd_%WIN_VER%%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%_1_eng.lng
wcmd_%WIN_VER%%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%_2_eng.lng

Now select either of these two in TC's language setup:
English with Extended Menu I for TC 9.12 32/64bit under ANY 64bit Windows
English with Extended Menu II for TC 9.12 32/64bit under ANY 64bit Windows

You can use C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe to set the global system variable

If you use this solution you can delete:
wcmd_win7%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%_1_eng.lng
wcmd_win7%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%_2_eng.lng
wcmd_win10%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%_1_eng.lng
wcmd_win10%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%_2_eng.lng
to make TC's language selection dialog less cluttered.

Sorry for the (very!) late reply. I forgot I posted it.

The link is dead. Could you please re-upload?

TIA

P.S
Great work!

Could you please re-upload?

http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/win_ver.zip should work now

It works!

However, the variable shouldn't have the % mark in Windows variable settings.

Hi,

Does it also work with the TC 9.21A or do we need a new version?

[petermad]

It will work just as good with TC 9.21a :;-)

[diopter]

I think, this would work better:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_restartcommander]
cmd=cm_ConfigSaveSettings,cm_ConfigSaveDirHistory,cm_ConfigSavePos,cm_Exit,CM_WAIT 1,em_ext_newcommander
button=%COMMANDER_EXE%
menu=Genstart Total Commander

[petermad]

I think, this would work better:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_restartcommander]
cmd=cm_ConfigSaveSettings,cm_ConfigSaveDirHistory,cm_ConfigSavePos,cm_Exit,CM_WAIT 1,em_ext_newcommander
button=%COMMANDER_EXE%
menu=Genstart Total Commander

Only if you want the settings saved, including open tabs etc. I prefer to have my TC opening the same way every time I start it, hence I have disabled "Operation" -> "Save on exit" -> "Directories" and "Panels (brief/full, etc.)" and "Directory history"

BTW you could change it to:

Code: Select all

cmd=cm_ConfigSaveSettings,cm_Exit,CM_WAIT 1,em_ext_newcommander

Because cm_ConfigSaveSettings also performs cm_ConfigSaveDirHistory and cm_ConfigSavePos


If I use yours:

Code: Select all

cmd=cm_Exit,CM_WAIT 1,em_ext_newcommander

in stead of my current:

Code: Select all

cmd=em_ext_newcommander,cm_Exit

I get the benefit that the session number of TC doesn't shift, but for some reason em_ext_newcommander doesn't place the cursor on the currently selected files after restart - as it does with my approach - so I will stick to my way for now.

Silently updated all English versions of the menus with the English winhlp32.exe v. 5.1.2600.5521 for Windows XP, which can also be used under Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Find it in the enclosed wcmd_*_eng.zip file

I see, but even at your site the most recent versions are linked to totalcmd.net, so no way to download and i got confused. Maybe it is better to provide a mirror link beside each one.

I have no problem to download the actual or any other version from http://madsenworld.dk/tc-menus/
There is no need to enter http://madsenworld.dk/index-uk.htm?wincmd/index-uk.htm for this.
