[white]

Inconsistent category headers in TOTALCMD.INC

The first 21 headers use 16 underscores in front of and behind the category name and no spaces are used in the name.
Then 1 header uses 15 en 14 underscores.
Then 3 headers use 8 en 9 underscores and use spaces between words.

Code: Select all

Who cares, they aren't shown like that in the user interface...

Who cares..

Do you really want me to make an assessment whether someone cares before I report anything? Please let me know.

..they aren't shown like that in the user interface...

That's not true for the inconsistent use of spaces and capitalization in:

FileOperations
ParallelPort
CommandLine
Custom column views
View modes
Commands with parameters

They are shown like this in the command picker dialog:

Yes, if you refer to the underscores. No, if you refer to the text.

[ghisler(Author)]

I can't just change the text, because the translations are based on the text.
So when I change e.g. FileOperations to File Operations, it would no longer get translated.

I can't just change the text, because the translations are based on the text.

Since the change is only spaces and capitalization you could, when you read the files, replace the keys with keys without spaces. That would make it more flexible too.

And you could change the format of Totalcmd.inc a bit to allow to specify a different display name for the category.

Code: Select all

[________________FileOperations________________]=0
CatDisplayname=File Operations
cm_List=903;View with Lister
cm_ListInternalOnly=1006;Lister without plugins/multimedia, single file
cm_ListInternalMulti=2933;Lister without plugins/multimedia, selected
cm_ListOnly=2934;Lister with plugins/multimedia, single file
cm_ListMulti=2935;Lister with plugins/multimedia, selected
cm_Edit=904;Edit (Notepad)

Or you could use a negative command number to specify a display name.

06.06.22 Fixed: Titles in totalcmd.inc are now more consistent, but they will not get translated with older versions of Total Commander (32/64)

Tested OK using TC10.50rc1.
