No help for new cm_copy parameters

Post by *Horst.Epp »

The history says
27.04.23 Added: Internal commands cm_copy and cm_renmov now support optional parameters to set copy options, target, wildcards and option to start immediately (see Help - Dialog box: Choose command) (32/64)
Under this entry, nothing is documented for the possible parameters of cm_copy ?

What are you talking about? Where else do you think we get them for testing and discussing bugs, other than on the specified help page?

Fine if you see them, I don't
This is what this help entry contains for me (I searched for cm_copy parameters in it):

Code: Select all

Dialog box: Choose command
 
This dialog box allows you to choose an internal command from the file totalcmd.inc, and to define new commands stored either in usercmd.ini or a language-specific wcmd_lng.ini.
 
Field Description
 
Category: Category of the command. All commands are listed in the first category "All"
 
Command: Name of the command
 
Nr: Numeric value of the command
 
Description: Translated description of the command
 
Filter: Allows you to show only commands containing the specified word
 
Only on the pages usercmd.ini and wcmd_lng.ini:
 
New... Define a new extended command em_xyz. An extended command can be used to call a program with parameters also from the main menu and with a hotkey.
 
Edit... Change an existing user-defined command.
 
Delete Delete a user-defined command
 
Rename/Copy... Allows you to rename a command, and to create a copy of a command under a different name
 
Note: A command can be copied to the clipboard with Ctrl+C in the list of commands. Ctrl+Shift+C copies the entire line with the description.
 
List of internal cm_x commands which support a parameter:
 
Note: * stands for LEFT, RIGHT, or SRC
CM_LIST,
CM_LISTONLY,
CM_LISTINTERNALONLY: Specifies the name of the file to be opened in the Lister. Supports the same options as the command line parameter /S=L:parameters. Must be passed before the name, and start with a slash / (without the part S=L: of the command line parameter), e.g.
CM_LIST /T1V file_name for text mode, variable width font
CM_LISTMULTI,
CM_LISTINTERNALMULTI Like CM_LIST, only supports parameters plus one file name maximum (optional)
CM_WAIT Set the delay in milliseconds to wait until starting the next command
CM_SELECT,
CM_UNSELECT,
CM_REVERSE Change selection of the next x files from the current cursor position
CM_GOTOFIRSTENTRY Go down from first file/folder to the specified entry, e.g. CM_GOTOFIRSTENTRY 1 goes to the second file/folder
CM_GOTOFIRSTFILE Go down from first file to the specified entry, e.g. CM_GOTOFIRSTFILE 1 goes to the second file
CM_LEFTSWITCHTOTHISCUSTOMVIEW
CM_RIGHTSWITCHTOTHISCUSTOMVIEW
Switch to the specified custom view mode.
CM_SEARCHFORINCURDIR Search specified drive letter
CM_100PERCENT Split relative panel size, the specified value (e.g. 60 percent) is applied to the active panel
CM_50PERCENT Like CM_100PERCENT, but the given value (in percent) will be added to the width of the active panel, e.g. CM_50PERCENT -10 (for a with of 50%, results in a new width of 40%)
CM_*VIEWMODELIST Switch to the specified view mode by index:
0: switch to default view mode
>0: switch to user-defined view mode with that index
CM_REREADSOURCE 1: forces refresh even if nothing has changed in that directory, e.g. to re-load icons and overlays
2: re-applies automatic view mode change to current directory
3: both
CM_UNLOADPLUGINS 0: unload all plugin types (except for tcmatch dll), or use sum of
1: packer plugins
2: file system plugins
4: Lister plugins
8: Content plugins
16: External tcmatch dll
CM_*ACTIVATETAB* Numeric parameter x>0: Activate tab x, e.g. CM_SRCACTIVATETAB1 5
Numeric parameter x<0: Count from the end, e.g. activate last tab: CM_SRCACTIVATETAB1 -1
CM_CLOSECURRENTTAB 1: close locked tab without confirmation
CM_CLOSEALLTABS 1: close unlocked tabs without confirmation
2: close also locked tabs, with confirmation

Obviously, you have help from a previous version, not 11. See INSTALL.CAB\e\TOTALCMD.CHM.

Well it is in the English Help: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/choosecommandhelp.png

But I can confirm that these commands are not yet listed in the German totalcmd.chm help file shipped with TC 11.00b7 https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/choosecommandhelpgerman.png

EDIT - I was wrong - the German totalcmd.chm file is updated correctly in TC 11.00b7 :oops:

Thanks for the tip.

The installer does contain the new German help. However, it doesn't get installed when you install a language other than English. You probably have a wcmd_deu.chm file which you put there yourself.

I know that - the problem was that I accidently copied the INSTALL.CAB\d\TOTALCMD.CHM to Language\Wcmd_deuDark.chm instead of to Language\Wcmd_deu.chm, so it was still the old Wcmd_deu.chm that was used when I switched to German language.

So are there still any missing cm_Copy parameters, or can I move this thread to fixed bugs?

No problems here either - An d is so pleasing for the eye that the Help now shows the cm_commands in CamelCase instead of all uppercase - thank you.
