Two problems about TC 6.5

[Raymond]

First of all, thanks Christian for TC 6.5! It's always big day of TC fans when new version comes.

Then I gonna say:

1. history.txt says：
05.12.04 Added: Correctly truncate file extension also in Show - Brief with BriefViewWidthLimit= set
What this setting for?

2. The new version seems fix the problem I mentioned here ONLY when I press Shift+F6 the first time.
According to history.txt
06.07.04 Added: Pressing F6 (or Shift+F6) in the inplace rename field will select just the name/the name+ext
When press F6 (or Shift+F6) more than once, this problem happens again and the cursor doesn't locate as it should be anymore.

My system is win2kpro+sp3.


Edit:
Here comes another question:
I found this new setting in [Configuration] section of wincmd.ini:
pluginbasedir=D:\Totalcmd\wlx\
I bet it's for plugin auto install and change it as following:
pluginbasedir=D:\Totalcmd\
After I played around with some wdx plugins for a while it changed as:
pluginbasedir=D:\Totalcmd\w\
A little confused...I can't find explanation of this setting in help or history files.

To Haker
I already read that, but can't understand.
I've tried with such as
BriefViewWidthLimit=100
BriefViewWidthLimit=320
or without it at all, I can't tell any difference in Brief View.

Under what situation should we use this setting?

Under what situation should we use this setting?

When you use brief view and have a filename whose length is longer than the panel width, then all other filenames, no matter how short they are, will take up the whole panel width. Just because of that one long filename.

Example:

Code: Select all

a            txt
b            txt
longfilename txt
c            txt
d            txt
e            txt
f            txt
g            txt

If you set a reasonable BriefViewWidthLimit then you can get something like this:

Code: Select all

a     txt  d     txt
b     txt  e     txt
long..txt  f     txt
c     txt  g     txt
