QuickSearch eXtended

[Samuel]

I will consider it. There is a reason I didnt include it. Its more complicated than the others.

Hello Samuel

thanks for the update. Some small hints:

- The german "readme" has a paragraph in English.
- The new toolbar has no description.
- The new toolbar is too large. The right area (Pulldown and Options) runs out of my screen. How to move or decrease the toolbar?
(Oh, here - at the moment I see:

Code: Select all

[gui]
one_line_gui=0

Regards

Peter

The german "readme" has a paragraph in English

Do you mean: "PinYin search"? I also found this yesterday.

The new toolbar has no description.

I think it doesn't needs one. It would only waste space.
If I could I would extend TCs searchbar to the right. But I have to create my own little window.

The new toolbar is too large. The right area (Pulldown and Options) runs out of my screen. How to move or decrease the toolbar?

You found the ini switch. You may also set it in the gui under: "additional user interface > show in one row" Should it be the default value?

Maybe I should make favorites optional to reduce space used?

No. I mean chapter "Ersetzungsregeln".

"Description for Toolbar":
I mean that there is no chapter (description) in the readme.pdf

Tool-Bar Size:
Maybe you can decrease the width of the list so that a one-line-solution can be used?

Tcmatch.exe:
Is there a german version?

Thanks, your right.

Tcmatch.exe:
Is there a german version?

Yes it depends on your Windows Language. What language do you use? Perhaps I will customize it in the user interface.
Currently German and English is supported.

Tool-Bar Size:

Do you mean the presetlist or the searchmodelist?

Tcmatch.exe:

I use Win XP Prof German - but Tcmatch.exe and the Toolbar is english.

I mean the(se) list(s) where the program and/or the user use short strings.

the tcmatch.exe here is in german, vista sp2 home prem.

one thing i find strange: the tcmatch.exe remains in memory all the time... is this a bug or does it have to be in memory all the time? AFAIR, it wasn't like this in version 1.x.x.x.x

anyway, great plugin, no doubt. thanks for this!

I will add a language selection to the gui.

I dont understand this.

Version 1.* didn't have this file at all, because it only used tcmatch.dll without any gui.
You could still use only tcmatch.dll in Version 2.* by unchecking "additional user interface > activate".

It had to be in memory to detect if TCs QuickSearch window appears.
Then it shows the little additional user interface. Tcmatch.exe will close when TC is closed.

tcmatch.dll - contains everything related to the search logic (written in C++)
tcmatch.exe - contains everything related to the user interface (written in AutoHotkey)

2Peter:
Could you call this Autohotkey script, and tell me what it says?

Code: Select all

msgbox,%A_Language%

what I found in this new version is that the presence of tsmatch.exe needs a little extratime at the first usage of the quicksearch functionality, this delay of course disappear after the first usage, because the .exe is already in memory..it's a little annoying indeed.

Ich meinte einfach pauschal, dass man die Listen verkleinern soll, wo der Anwender nur kurze Strings verwendet und daher abgeschnittene Texte nicht auftreten werden. Ich selbst habe es noch nicht genutzt, daher weiss ich nicht, welche Liste besser ist. Grundsätzlich wäre eine Benutzeranpassung das beste, aber geht das mit AHK?


Für den Test der "msgbox" muss AHK laufen, oder?

You may disable the gui. I dont know how to do this better.
AFAIK the dll is loaded when QS is used the first time...

You have to install ahk. Then execute language.ahk with this content.

[Samuel]

2Nigurrath:
I checked it: tcmatch.dll (and tcmatch.exe) is loaded from TC on first usage of the QuickSearch Feature.
So I cannot start it earlier.

You may start it a little bit delay to TC, because it will close if there is no window of TC open.

2Peter:
Here is a compiled ahk-script: Language.exe
Would you be so kind and report what language ID you have?

Samuel,
Some mouseover popup hints for the new interface would be nice.

On TC 7.55pb2 under WinXP SP2 Pro tcmatch.exe doesn't autostart if I press Ctrl+S in Total Commander first time in session.
I must filter something, close (Esc) and restart quicksearch (Ctrl+S again) to make tcmatch.exe gui shown...
