TotalConsole crashes with 7.5B2

[robinsiebler]

I just did a clean install of TC 7.5B2. The only plugin I had installed was TotalConsole. When I launched it, it crashed.

However, if I installed 7.5B2 over TC 7.04a, TotalConsole worked just fine.

Thanks for your report. Can you post the lines in wincmd.ini concerning TotalConsole for both cases (when it works and when it crashes), please? Just choose Configuration - Change settings files directly and search for the plugin name.

I cannot get TotalConsole to work at all with TC 7.5 beta.
Are you sure you managed to make it work?

Last TC version it was working with is 7.04a for me.

TotalConsole seems to be using some "hacks" to embed itself in Total's window so it is no surprise it stopped working (since some controls has been changed).

[ghisler(Author)]

I see - indeed it would need some minor changes to detect the new controls with .unicodeclass appended...

Anyone know the author? The URL on TotalCmd.Net is invalid. It would be a shame if both TConsole and TotalConsole died with 7.5.

I think the only way is to try on wincmd.ru forum board:

Is an active developer(B4rr4cuda) of Double Commander
http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/forum

Anyway he say here:

Sorry, but I stoped plugin development.
Sources of TotalConsole are available now.

anyone interested in fixing this?

I have taken the time now to make this plugin work with Total Commander 7.5 beta. Unfortunately the plugin currently doesn't work correctly with two file panels above each other, but the original plugin didn't support that either.

Plugin:

Please report any problems here in the forum, or by e-mail to beta at ghisler dot com !

[robinsiebler]

Thank you ever so much!

I have the following lines in Options.ini:

SaveConCountOnClose=0
GetConCountOnClose=1
ConCountOnClInt=1

When I invoke TotalConsole, it automatically opens 1 Console tab (and I wish there was a way to do this without having to change the path in the active pane to \\\TotalConsole\). However, when I click the Close button, I get the following error (in German, no less!):

Listenindex uberschreitet das Maximum (-1)

I don't see an error if I do one of the following:

1. Click the Close All button instead of the Close button. If I open a new tab after clicking Close All, I don't see the error if I click Close.

2. Create a 2nd tab. Clicking the Close button works fine afterwards.

I will try to reproduce it, thanks for your report.

I am not sure should it be separate report...

Steps to reproduce:
1. minimize TC while TotalConsole is running (with at least one console),
2. bring TC back,
3. console window occupies almost whole TC window.

I don't remember it happening with previous versions although I will not deny such possibility.

Notes:
Sometimes the same thing happens without minimizing, it is enough just to take TC to background.

Confirmed! (for both robinsiebler's and fenix_productions's reports).

It also shows the horizontal bar on the bottom of the console and the files and size line is cut off on the left in the left panel.

I have it working with Take Command's TCC.exe, though, if that makes any difference.
