[WFX] VirtualPanel: Temporary panel for TC

[MVV]

Ah, you're talking about bug with file truncation. I've forgot about it too.
I don't want to upload version 1320 while it works fine. Also I don't have enough time to release up-to-date version (there are some unfinished things in it).

Delete function is critical i think.., now when someone use plugin can only put something in to virtualpanel but can't delete this in any way, like in to the black hole

But it's ok with me i gonna use beta


p.s. Is there any problem with this beta 1320, any bugs?

[MVV]

Nothing serious.

Anyway, I released new version.

VirtualPanel 2.0.7.1340:
+ plugin file name used as default root name
+ explorer: InverseSelection support
+ explorer: double buffering is now used
+ explorer: option to use Windows colors (faster)
* explorer: flickering split cursor fixed
* explorer: some color fixes
* explorer: if no selection, focused item is dragged
* explorer: sometimes focus rectangle disappeared after clicking some item
* truncate list file after writing
* fixed copy error in Windows 2000 (introduced in 2.0.6.1264)

i don't get a point how this plugin should work.
i did same steps how i use tc, but after close tc all files and dir are gone in vp dir.
could you uploud tutorial to youtube. thanks.

[MVV]

Faa,
Open plugin configuration and check state file path. It must be in writeable folder. Try <save command from command line in any plugin folder, it should save current state into that file just like it saves it on closing TC.

I had the same problem as Faa ...

after close tc all files and dir are gone in vp dir

This problem did not exist in wfx_VirtualPanel_2.0.6.1264.

I have added for myself the file VP.txt (only example!) in VirtualPanel.ini under point "DefFileList="

DefFileList=D:\Daten\Programme\Total Commander\TCD_USB-Stick\TC32-64USB\Plugins\wfx\VirtualPanel\VP.txt

and all files and folders are kept in VP directory.
Files copied to Virtual Panel are also shown in VP.txt (=> TC-Lister).

I think there was no VirtualPanel.ini in wfx_VirtualPanel_2.0.6.1264 and nothing had to be defined in this previous version.

So for me, I think up from this version someone had to define Path and File in VirtualPanel.ini to keep files and folders copied to VirtualPanel.

Karl

Hmm, I see now about what you're talking guys. During installation VP 2.0.7.1340 creates VirtualPanel.ini in its folder (with empty values including state file path - TC loads module to ask for default root name and doesn't configure it) while 2.0.6.1264 doesn't. I'll check the code, thanks.

If you delete or clear this file before loading plugin it saves configuration correctly (with default path to state file in Windows temporary folder) in TC default configuration file for FS plugins (fsplugin.ini). Keep in mind that if you have VirtualPanel.ini in plugin folder, it stores configuration in that file instead of TC default one.

I've released updated version, it doesn't create misconfigured VirtualPanel.ini. Thank you both again.

You can remove VirtualPanel.ini from VP folder (before loading VP) to get it properly initialized. Then don't forget to set preferred options (autosave interval, path to state file etc).

VirtualPanel 2.0.7.1354:
* explorer: sometimes item filled with inversed color after hovering it
* explorer: use proper default text and background colors if not set in TC
* plugin placed misconfigured VirtualPanel.ini to its folder during installation (introduced in 2.0.7.1330)

[Faa]

it works. i deleted VirtualPanel.ini

[MVV]

Great. But don't forget to set your state file path anyway.

[Faa]

If you want to remove also target, hold Shift to see confirmation message. When you delete real objects (inside of real folders), plugin will warn you always.

shift+delete? it doesn't work.

[Faa]

Great. But don't forget to set your state file path anyway.

what do you mean, "%TEMP%\VirtualPanel.lst"?

[MVV]

shift+delete? it doesn't work.

You must hold Shift when you click Yes in confirmation dialog (not when you press Delete button) because plugin receives control only after that.

shift+delete? it doesn't work.

Yes, it is default path (which is always writeable) but it is better to store state in another place (because it is a temporary folder which may be cleaned by some tools).

* explorer: use proper default text and background colors if not set in TC
* plugin placed misconfigured VirtualPanel.ini to its folder during installation (introduced in 2.0.7.1330)

Could it be possible to not have any virtualpanel.ini created in VPFolder during installation.
I use "VirtualPanel.ini" with a bunch of setting and each time i install new VP version my setting are overwritten.

[MVV]

nsp,
No more VirtualPanel.ini during installation, it was a bug (configuration was saved by mistake), sorry.
