Thank you for this wonderful app!
One more thing about working with the directory hotlist in Total Commander, Folder menu doesn't seem to understand TC's internal variables like %COMMANDER_PATH%, is there a way to set this path, so that it can be used?
Actually you have an option to point to the Total Commander path, it just needs to be interpreted as %COMMANDER_PATH% too, weather or not Use TC Menu as main menu is checked or not, because you still have an option _TCMenu which still needs to work with %COMMANDER_PATH% variable. |
Ok.

However, could you add XYplorer support? Win+9 doesn't detect the address bar. |
Ok i'll check it.
Wow that's cool!!

Small tip: for a smoother experience, add the following around the code you use to update the ListView contents:
| Quote: | To improve performance even more, use GuiControl, -Redraw, MyListView prior to adding a large number of rows. Afterward, use GuiControl, +Redraw, MyListView to re-enable redrawing (which also repaints the control).

Thanks, this makes it a little faster loading the favorite tree. |

|
|
Is there a way to specify that a shortcut is to a relative path (e.g. a folder on my flash drive, understanding the drive letter may be different on different machines?)
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious  |

That would be tricky to say the least... The only way you could determine the drive is your drive would be through it's LABEL and I don't think that's doable?
If you intend to run Folder Menu from your Flash drive, you could use relative paths like %A_ScriptDir%\..\ to access your flash drive. |

what's your OS? and what path you use?
I can use relative path without any problem.
It's relative to the working dir of Folder Menu.
..\ and .\ also works. |

On XP, I was using .\ but on some systems that was opening a pre-mapped network drive (z:)
If I drop the leading \ (or .\) and just use that it works, so thanks! |

Thank you for the quick fix for using %COMMANDER_PATH% variable, but it still doesn't work like it should, there is an extra \ added after the variable so Folder Menu processes the path like %COMMANDER_PATH%\\..\!Cd List\
I tried making the path like cd %COMMANDER_PATH%..\!Cd List\ that way it works, but sadly not in TC... |

| Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 6:50 pm Post subject: slow on loading with unc paths |
|
|
hi rexx,
this is a great app!
two questions:
1) I use folder menu 2 on my notebook which I carry around and use in different networks. I have a few favorites containing unc paths. Now I realise that if I'm not connected to the network FM loads very, very slow (I guess Windows is searching for the unc paths).
Can I prevent this behavior?
my system: Vista SP2
2) I'm using FM sometimes simultaneously on 2 machines but afterwards I sync my portable apps. The sync fails because the recent items are different. Is it possible to disable the recent items (via menu the minimum is 1, 0 not allowed)?
br,
CyberMCM

I'm loving the program so far, but all in xplorer2 paths simply open up in a new window, regardless of the shortcut that I use.
I want to add support to xplorer2, and have edited the option file accordingly. However, both Win+W and middle mouse button open up a new explorer window to the correct path.
Other supported programs and file/open dialog boxes work great.
How do I fix this? Thanks! |

Great job rexx, I love it!
Small suggestion - it would be great to have a sub-menu that contains a current (live) list of drives on the computer. I see you do have a drive list in your version, but it doesn't seem to be "live". I've added this to my own version, based on Savage's original and it's one of the features I use the most.
I haven't looked at the code of your program yet, but here's the code I used - which is called once each time the menu is opened (so the drive list is always current).
| Code: |
f_BuildDrivesSubMenu:
f_DrivesSubMenuItemCount =
Menu, DrivesSubMenu, Add
Menu, DrivesSubMenu, DeleteAll
Menu, Favorites, Add, Drives, :DrivesSubMenu
DriveGet, var_DriveList, List
Loop Parse, var_DriveList
{
f_DrivesSubMenuItemCount++
f_drivespath%f_DrivesSubMenuItemCount% = %A_LoopField%:\
Menu, DrivesSubMenu, Add, %A_LoopField%:\, f_OpenFavorite
}
return

%COMMANDER_PATH% is totally the same as in the "TC Path" field in options menu tab (at bottom).
So you can remove the "\" there.

1) It only checks the unc path when opening a unc item, not when loading the menu, so i don't know what's the problem.
I don't have this problem even i added a lot of unavailable unc path.
2) Don't add any _RecentMenu item in favorite menu then the recent function will be turned off.
And clear the recent list, then the recent list in config.xml will be all blank entries.

It is "live", it rebuilds the menu every time showing it.
But I only get fixed drive, so maybe you want removable drive too? |

make it blank to open in a regular window. |
