1) This isn't a problem of the sync tool, but with missing switches in the button bar/start menu.
2) Indeed this isn't currently supported, maybe in the future
3) Sorry, this is completely impossible, since the ftp connection of the main window is re-used
4) This may be possible via one of the list switches
5) Sorry, I never had this problem.

1) Yes of cause. But it is related very much and I would be very happy about this feature.
3) I only gathered the differences. I know it would be very difficult.
5) I know. As its only a rare display bug I can live with that.

I found out a pretty good workaround for (1). I used my
ButtonBar eXtended to create a macro:
- first call "cm_FocusLeft"
- then call "%Commander_Path%\TOTALCMD.EXE /S=S "%P" "%T""

I worked on the solution of these problems during the last few days. Here are my solutions:
1. Parameter %X will change the meaning of several parameters from source/target to left/right:
%P,%p,%N,%n,%T,%t,%M,%m,%S,%s
2. Parameter %Z tells TC to launch program with archive name as parameter when within an archive.
3. Sorry, FTP cannot be supported
4. New parameter /O=<filename> can be used to pass list of only selected files to external sync tool
5. Sorry, I cannot solve the problem because I cannot reproduce it.

Wow great to hear that. Thanks. Thumbs up.
Im not sure if I got the syntax of everything, but I will see and try it in the next beta.
I have especially the question if there is one combination of Parameters so that it could be brought all together.
It wouldn't be very nice if one have to create 3 buttons. For standalone sync normal, for standalone sync with zips, for standalone sync with selected files.
If this couldnt be done so easy TC should have a new internal command checking the conditions and then create the according command line.

Really great improvements in last beta Christian. Thanks a lot.
1) Added in TC 7.5 pb8.
2) Added in TC 7.5 pb8.
3) not possible
4a) Added in TC 7.5 pb8 the possibility to use a filelist
4b) no support for proper parameters from TC
5) didn't occur recently
Edit:

Also fixed in TC 7.5 pb8.

Can you explain 4b, please?

Just as discussed in beta forum:
4b) There are no parameters from TC I can use for calling the "/O=" parameter of standalone sync.
If I use "/S=S "%Z%X%P" "%T" /O=%L" this will:
- not select files from both panels
- select also file under cursor if nothing is selected
- if nothing is selected and cursor is on ".." it doesnt work
So its not possible to replace the intern sync by the standalone in a seamless (exactly working the same) way.
So I have to create different buttons for it.

Yes it is mostly the function of %L that is not totally suited for this:
1. it only works for the source side
2. it is called even if no files are selected (with current file)
Maybe TC could discard /O=L if no files are selected.
Maube this could be a parameters line for using /O on both sides:
/S=S %Z%X "%P" "%T" /O=%L %x/O=%L
or
/S=S %Z%X "%P" "%T" /O=%L%%x%L

F3 does not work on "jpg" or "png" in standalone sync tool. It just behaves as if the IrfanView path is wrong.
I can confirm that this is fixed in TC 7.50pb8

I would propose the following additional parameters:
Code: Select all
1) %G and %g - Parameters like %S between %G and %g use selected filenames from both panels as input.
2) %H - If there are no files selected in a panel do not select the file under the cursor instead.
3) %I and %i - Parameters like %S or %N between %I and %i can be empty without resulting in an empty parameter string.
(first and last parameter behave the way "%X" and "%x" work - the second behaves the way "%Z" works)
Currently unused letters when using parameters:
BTW: Empty titlebar still occurs
sometimes, but I
cant reproduce it and its really no problem as it is just visual issue.
Edit:
A proper commandline for the standalone sync would be then:
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD.EXE %Z%H/S=S "%X%P" "%T" /O=%G%I%L
Perhaps TC should simply provide "cm_FileSyncStandalone"

Why not just add: %Y as a
modifier, which could be applied to %S, %N or any of the current parameters that will send an empty string when the cursor is on [..].
I.E. %Y%S

It would be the same as "%I".
The other 2 parameters could also be very useful.
Perhaps something like "%J" could also be fine: (new idea)
%J - the parameter string is split at each occurrence of %J. Then it parses the splitted strings from the beginning and uses the first string for which all parameters are valid:
Command: a.exe
Parameter: -s %S -t %R%J-s %S%J-t %R%J-n
So it would call this if files are selected in both panels:
Code: Select all
Command: a.exe
Parameter: -s %S -t %R
This if files are selected only on the src panel:
This if files are selected only on the target panel:
And finally this if there is no file selected at all:
