[TC 11.57a pre1] cm_Edit /N="<template", folder is sent to editor when template result is nothing

[white]

Execute:

Code: Select all

cm_Edit /CN="<[N1,0]"

Result: Filename is not accepted (error: "<path length = 0>")

---

Execute:

Code: Select all

cm_Edit /GCN="<[N1,0]"

Result: Editor is launched without filename passed to it.

---

Execute:

Code: Select all

cm_Edit /N="<[N1,0]"

Result: Editor is launched with current folder passed to it. (In case the editor is Notepad++, this opens all files in the folder.)
When the result of a template is a filename, the folder name is prepended to it before it is passed to the editor.
When the result is no filename, TC should not prepend the folder name.

I'm currently only checking for errors in the name, not for zero length names. The following command will have the same effect:

Code: Select all

cm_Edit /N=""

I will add code to show an error when the name is empty.

15.05.26 Fixed: Show error "Path length = 0!" when user passes empty name to cm_Edit, e.g. /N="", or the passed template results in an empty name, e.g. /N="<[N1,0]" (32/64)

Tested OK using TC 11.57a pre2 32-bit and 64-bit.

Please re-check with Total Commander 11.57a RC1!
