Language strings issue: History cannot be customized

[NikolaAnt]

History cannot be customized.
or
You (or any of the people) cannot customize the story.
or
You cannot change history.

It already exists (happened, took place, etc.)
This can no longer be changed.
That is why it is called "HISTORY".

You can customize the creation of history lists.
For example, my translation for Wcmd_ext_ruA.lng (Russian):
2127="Configure directory history lists..."
5146="Set up directory history lists"
6700="History directory listings"

The top settings block "Visited directories" of the "HISTORY" page needs its own title
6722="Visited directories", or
2132="Visited directories", or
5144="Visit directories"
as for the bottom block already exists
6701="Frequently used folders"

A little more about Customize directory history lists if possible.
String 6169="Directory history thi... and string 6719="Max. width in characters (ave... are not at the same level.
Is it possible for "Customize directory history lists" to make your own list of EXCLUSIONS similar to the file/folder exclusion list? Maybe in the new settings page.
For example, do not remember the XXXX directory, the AAA directory, etc.

The string 6700 is now used in 3 places. I agree that we should have a separate string for the header of the group box holding the "Save history on exit" etc. items.

[NikolaAnt]

Yes, for example:
6722="Visited directories"

[petermad]

I would rather suggest:
6722="History of recently used folders"
or
6722="Recently used folders"

[ghisler(Author)]

I have thought about this again, and will split them into:
6699="History"
6700="History (last visited folders)"
The second one will be used for the groupbox, and the first for the category list (left side) and title bar.

I would like to stop adding new features at this point which require translation, so I can contact all translators about the new strings. Did I miss any other strings which would need translation?

6699="History"
6700="History (last visited folders)"

Great

Did I miss any other strings which would need translation?

No, but I would like to suggest a change:

Code: Select all

5495="Compress&ion rate:"

to

Code: Select all

5495="Compress&ion rate (ZIP, GZ, TGZ):"

Apart for being more precise, It will also make the option easier so notice - I did not notice it at first - cramped away up there in the upper right corner.

[AntonyD]

5495="Compress&ion rate (ZIP, GZ, TGZ):"

Already checked this combination and everything seems to be fine even in my native language out of the box!

[ghisler(Author)]

Sorry, I will not change string 5495. Why?
1. It is only displayed for the packers to which it applies.
and
2. I may be adding 7zip support, and then it will be invalid again.

[AntonyD]

1. It is only displayed for the packers to which it applies.

Sorry - but HOW we will know on which packers this support will propagate? Manually re-click on each of them?
ONLY from this string line we can quickly and intuitively to find out this. Help file will not help.
At least - because not all translators will translate such small info.

[petermad]

1. It is only displayed for the packers to which it applies.
and

Aha - I hadn't noticed that, but yes if I choose f.ex. RAR it is not displayed - so no need for the parenthesis - my bad.

2. I may be adding 7zip support, and then it will be invalid again.

That sounds promising

[NikolaAnt]

I don't see it. But in 2123="Numeric keypad" I wanted to see "space" at the end. So the line and the assigned figure are visually better perceived.
For example: Numeric keypad 3

[petermad]

But in 2123="Numeric keypad" I wanted to see "space" at the end

I agree. It looks more correct with "Numeric keypad 3" than "Numeric keypad3" - otherwise it should be "NumericKeypad3"

[ghisler(Author)]

Please don't append a space to string 2123! I will append one myself in code.

Confirmed changed in in TC 11.00b6 32bit - but the 64bit version only uses string 6700.

Furthermore 6700="History (last visited folders)" is not present for internal English - neither in 32bit nor in 64bit TC.

Please don't append a space to string 2123! I will append one myself in code.

Confirmed changed in in TC 11.00b6 32bit - but the 64bit version still don't have a space at the end

[ghisler(Author)]

Confirmed - sorry, I was in a hurry today.
