LOADLIST does not load records about files on partition E:\

I will write for you
Command: LOADLIST e:\list.txt
list.txt file string: e:\xyz.txt
The xyz.txt file at the root of the e:\

You have an error displaying a file in the list!?

[Fla$her]

but which options are mentioned here? You mean I must create a button? From a Command line - the call will not work?

Right. You need to check with the button where LOADSEARCH==template is specified in the first field. Before saving the search template, the "Search in:" field must specify @C:\Path\to\list.txt, and leave the other fields and options empty/disabled.

Last time: I CAN get an error dialog with absent for ALL tested files from this partition (if they really do not exist on this disk),
BUT Total itself does not show them at all in a tab "Search result:" as a result of LOADLIST command execution.
And yes - for you test case I will get this: https://i.ibb.co/LX6X7gRs/2025-05-22-182914.png
in case when this file will not exist on this path.... But if I will create such a file on this path - I will NOT get
such error dialog. But also I will not see this file in a file panel in a tab "Search result:".

OK, tested. And looks like with that command something terrible is happening. More than with LOADLIST.
I can only hear the sound of ERROR notification and totally empty file panel in a tab "Search result:".
Sorry - did not put in a proper field @path_to_my_list.
AND in this case I can get all files in a file panel in a tab "Search result:".

"Search in:" is the second field, not the first ("Search for:"). Do you understand this?
Reduce your list to 1-2 entries with full names (path\name).

I already fixed it do not read so quickly any posts))))))

BUT the error sound I still hear. Even in this GOOD result... Rather strange case...
P.S.
Oh, come on! Now this sound is an exclamation sound. Not an error!
just another again one small strange case)))

[Fla$her]

What do we have: LOADSEARCH== with @List works, but with LOADLIST List no.
Apparently, there is some discrepancy in the code when outputting names to the panel.

I am trying to convey this to the author - and it could have been figured out much faster if there was an extended subsystem in the
product for outputting debug messages about the parts of the code being executed.
Approximately like it looks for the same MSI installer of any software. Or like in the Chrome-browser, there is output of debug messages
of various levels of importance...
But no - we are sitting here guessing - is it this way or not, and what about this? Like this? And everything in this vein...

As I see it, in my evaluative judgment, the next high-profile product premiere with the number 12 should represent a build firstly strictly
on one modern compiler for both bitnesses! And secondly, it should have a logging subsystem with varying degrees of importance.

But also I will not see this file in a file panel in a tab "Search result:"

This is a confirmation of the bug you discovered.
So my example is suitable for others to discover it.

I just found something interesting: Files which have the "compressed" attribute are not added to the list! Could this be the problem in your case?

[sa16]

Files which have the "compressed" attribute are not added to the list!

I confirm!

[AntonyD]

If I open the dialog "Change attributes..." I don't see the "Compressed" checkbox.
And how am I supposed to understand in this case - what kind of "magical" file attribute are you talking about?
Maybe we should first fix this dialog - so that it actually will start to show ALL Real file attributes?

I can confirm the issue with the compressed attribute.

And how am I supposed to understand in this case - what kind of "magical" file attribute are you talking about?

This:

File window

In the file windows there are shown (if full is selected in the Show menu) the file names, size, date and time of last change and the file attributes (r=read only, a=archive, h=hidden, s=system, c=NTFS compressed, e=NTFS encrypted) in the current directory.

I am eternally grateful for your help, but let's be honest - using other programs is clearly not the purpose
of this program;) And the fact that so many people move the viewport so that these textual symbols of attributes
in the panel are not even visible - this happens all the time! I did that too. On the machine! There's no way to change that.
But in the special dialog - where ALL the attributes should be specified - for some reason there is no such attribute??!?!??
Don't you think there's a huge mistake here?
This is where the only place - spec.dlg. - we need to both see this attribute and be able to change it.

p.s.
and yes, I also confirm that this attribute is the key to this bug.

personal request - could you take a look at the bug https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=472053#p472053
in your opinion, am I really asking and clarifying completely incorrect things there?
