[TC 11.57] Handling of [X] placeholder when clipboard is empty

[white]

12.05.26 Fixed: New file/folder dialog, multi-rename tool: Placeholder [X] to insert string from clipboard now creates an error when the clipboard contains a zero length string (32/64)
2.05.26 Added: New file/folder dialog, multi-rename tool: New placeholder [X0]: Same as [X], but inserts empty string when the clipboard is empty or doesn't contain any text (32/64)

Tested OK with TC 11.57a pre1 32-bit and 64bit.

Error in the changelog: " 2.05.26"

Sorry, it's just a copy and paste error to the mail. It's correct in the actual changelog.

Not sure if you realized, but the introduction of placeholder [X0] introduced compatibility issue.

Suppose a user used this filename mask in the multi-rename tool:

Code: Select all

Number [X01-3]

If the number 2 is on the clipboard, this produces "Number 002" in TC 11.57.
If the number 2 is on the clipboard, this produces "Number 2" in TC 11.57a.

This functionality in TC 11.57 no longer exists in TC 11.57a. You can only use [X0] now with leading zero padding (e.g. Number [X001-3]).

It doesn't need to be a zero, I could use any other character. How about [X+], would that clash also with something?

I think [X+] would not clash with anything.

Please re-check with Total Commander 11.57a RC1!
