Big wish -> Big Drive Letter

[Clo]

Hello Karl !

…And all this, just to fix a cosmetic issue ...

• Sorry, I disagree, that isn't cosmetical only. I ought say that even with 1024*768,
it's difficult to me to spot the drives letters easily, and the 120 DPI TC option can't be applied onto the interface…
- Same in some files, for instance :

LogFile=E:\TC_7-03_beta\Journaux\TC_7-5.log

Is OK, I spot the line, while

IconLib=e:\TC_7-03_beta\Wcicolib.icl

is not, often worse with some fonts…
- On the drive buttons, not better…
- So, I still wish uppercase letters in such places, according to a consensus¦compromise
to reach together (together=The Author and us).

Hi, Claude.

Readability might be better if T.C. were consistent, right. Today it is not uncommon to have drive letters I:, J: and even L:.
Provided you use uppercase letters consistently, chances will be low to mix up drives I: and L: or I: and J:.
Hm, it just occurred to me that in the T.C. drive dropdown list I really identify the drives j: and i: more by their positions inside the drop down list and by the comment columns ("DVD drive"vs. "USB drive") than by the letters themselves. (J: is the last drive in the list here)

All right, I guess I have just joined the "Christian, use uppercase drive letters consistently, please" party.

Cheers,
Karl

Hi Karl, welcome to the party!

Let's hope, that Christian will find an easy way for the change.

I join too .

I agree too.

Good programming practices suggest that there should be only ONE routine responsible for formatting path strings for display...

Ghisler showed an image of big drive letters here.

Doesn't look like it. Just check pb2's history.txt.

A million thanks to Christian.

Nope, just wait a little while for it to be officially released.

This mistake was intentional for the case you can't see smiley

Seriously: I don't think Ghisler have a time for Photoshop these days.

Oh I see

So, I'm sad at heart, but the party is over.

2Christian: Many thanks for the big change, and to satisfy this big wish! You make me so happy!
I was not able to test all commands, but these I checked are working.
Also thanks to the other users for support this feature.

Thank you for the two new settings

Some comments though...

I find it a little confusing that using cm_PrintDir and cm_PrintDirSub follows the setting of DrivesShowUpcase - I would find it more logical to follow DrivesExportUpcase.

I must admit that I am still missing uppercase supporr for:
1. using cm_CopySrcPathToClip
2. using cm_CopyTrgPathToClip
I think at least these two should also be supported - then all the CopytoClip commands would be supported.

Furthermore I would also like to see Ctrl+P (copying current path to command line supported - it seems natural since Ctrl+Shift+Enter (copy path+file name to command line) is supported.

Finally I would still like to see writing to totalcmd.#.log files and the tcignore.txt file (when using the button "Add selected names with full path") supported.
