[Tc11b10] Shift+F4 (edit new file, a basic function of Tc) does not work.

[JOUBE]

[Tc11b10] Shift+F4 (edit new file, a basic function of Tc) does not work. Instead, it ends with a strange error message and a file created afterwards with the appropriate name and size zero. Annoying when new functions are implemented and the existing functions are affected. Please release Tc11b10a right now.

Not confirmed. Please add more details. What error message? What file did you try to create?

[ghisler(Author)]

Not confirmed. What are your editor settings in Configuration - Options Edit/View?

JOUBE,
Works completely fine here.

Like every day: 20 and more times:

Shift+F4 c.txt Enter (or x.txt, b.txt, y.cmd, .... I rename the file later in the process...)

This line worked 5 (or many more) years now:
windcmd.ini

Code: Select all

Editor=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Npp\notepad++.exe""

I have change it now manually to:
windcmd.ini

Code: Select all

Editor="C:\Program Files (x86)\Npp\notepad++.exe"

and it worked now.

But it is a real bug:
I have insert the Editor in configuration -> Editor with brakets. And this should be okay (I have generated it and copied from the Tc commandline via Ctrl+Shift+Enter) because of spaces in pathname. Result are the "" .... "" in the ini, which are (started with Tc11B10) problematic *).

Please fix it.

*) And, I think, not only at my wincmd.ini but thousands others also (In this case I am "the normal one", I think ).

I changed a lot when calling Shift+F4 to support all the new functions with cm_Edit parameters. One change was using ShellExecuteEx instead of the old WinExec, because the old function doesn't support elevation (run as admin).

I will check why it doesn't work with double quotes, it should work fine.

what will be if you use this line:

Code: Select all

Editor=""C:\Program Files (x86)\Npp\notepad++.exe" "%1""

?

Also does not working in TC 11 b1ta 10.

If I replace just totalcmd.exe by beta 9 version all is OK.

I tried old worked up to beta 9 variant:
"%COMMANDER_PATH%\Programs\Notepad++x86Portable\notepad++.exe" "%1"
""%COMMANDER_PATH%\Programs\Notepad++x86Portable\notepad++.exe" "%1""

Both are working in beta 9, no one working in beta 10.

I can confirm that the editor name with double quotes is parsed incorrectly. I will fix it in the next beta. Sorry for the troubles.

Double double quotes and Tc inis: a topic in itself. Also, for example, in the [DirMenu] section. That goes into the basics of Tc: Therefore don't change the basics, just keep it in mind.

[ghisler(Author)]

Double double quotes

That's due to how Windows handles ini files: If a value in an ini file is surrounded by double quotes, Windows removes them when reading the value, e.g.
value="1"
will return just 1.

I use Emacs as my editor. I have the same error, but it does not work with single quotes, too. My line in wincmd.ini is now
Editor="C:\Program Files\Emacs\emacs-28.2\bin\runemacs.exe" "%1"

[Schultheis]

With double quotes it does work with F4, with single quotes it doesn't even work with F4!

[Schultheis]

But it dows work without any quotes.

[ghisler(Author)]

Try without parameters, e.g. just
Editor=C:\Program Files\Emacs\emacs-28.2\bin\runemacs.exe
