[TC10.52 RC1 x32] Internal associations: The button bar doesn't open as a menu by Enter for any file

[Fla$her]

Tipe name: *.*
Open: **"%COMMANDER_PATH%\Bars\Test.bar" (or without quotation marks)

Code: Select all

[Buttonbar]
Buttoncount=1
button1=cmd.exe
cmd1=cmd.exe
menu1=cmd

[Gral]

Try Open: **%COMMANDER_PATH%\Bars\Test.bar - remove quotation marks

[Fla$her]

I did it. It didn't help.

[Gral]

Works for me without quotation marks, check your settings.

[Fla$her]

There's no point. I did this before creating the topic.

[Gral]

So why it works for me?
Did you try with specific extensions? Works then?

P.S. Post appropiate entries from your [Associations] section.

[Fla$her]

I checked with a "clean" wincmd.ini, the menu began to appear.
Some conflict with other settings, apparently.

Post appropiate entries from your [Associations] section.

The section has no effect. Checked with a full transfer.

I can reproduce it in Total Commander 64-bit, but not 32-bit: The popup menu seems to appear and immediately disappear, probably because it receives the key up event of the Enter key. I only used this command with extra verbs, never with "open", so I didn't notice.

I don't know how you get this in 32-bit, maybe it depends on the Windows version?

Btw, you can still open it in 64-bit via right click - "open". Maybe this works for you in 32-bit too?

I think that is the case, Double-click and cm_Return from command line works.

Enter works in 32bit TC 10.52rc1 under Window 7

Does the regular context menu invoked via ENTER work? To get this, you need to set the "open" program to a single asterisk: *

I ask because I call a function there to remove extra keyboard messages, so I can add the same also for the new button bar menu. This fixes the problem for me in TC 64-bit, but I don't get the problem in TC 32-bit.

[Fla$her]

Maybe this works for you in 32-bit too?

Alas, no.

Does the regular context menu invoked via ENTER work?

No.

[ghisler(Author)]

Then you have a far worse problem than all others here. The regular context menu invoked with ENTER has worked for years without complaints from users.

Could you try with a fresh ini files, e.g. launch totalcmd.exe /i=c:\path\test.ini, please?
Then define an internal association like this:
Menu Files - Internal associatons
Add
Specify file type: *.txt
Open: *
New...
Action (verb): Notepad
Command (program): notepad.exe "%1"

This should then open a single menu item "Notepad" when you double click on a .txt file or press Enter on it.

[Fla$her]

Works. The menu appears. The file opens.

I add below **%COMMANDER_PATH%\Bars\Test.bar for *.jpg, nothing happens by pressing Enter on jpg.

[ghisler(Author)]

Then can you please also try the "open" commands with this fresh ini file, please:
**"%COMMANDER_PATH%\Bars\Test.bar"
**%COMMANDER_PATH%\Bars\Test.bar
**c:\path\totalcmd\Bars\Test.bar
