several bugs in 6873

Recommended Posts

046 [cfg]

If *Cols# not defined in ini then

1) opening '*' VFS in '#' column mode hangs up NDN

2) we have garbage in column defaults configuration dialog

3) column sizes, given in that dialog first time, are ignored

 

047 [f]

"Display Important System paths in the AltF1/F2 menus" doesn't work if

there are spaces in path

 

048 [cfg] wish

Dialogs with many (on two/more pages) checkboxes needs some marker for

indication of that.

I also felt the need for some marker indicating another page of

combo boxes. After I noticed that they were between angle

brackets, , that sufficed.

 

But I guess it's not very intuitive to just have the different

brackets :-)

 

PS: build 6873? Right now, http://ndn.muxe.com/archives/w32.rar is

build 6446 as of July 15. Where can I get the truly latest build?

Or Elfy, you're not talking about the W32 version?

One more. Copying filename with path was ctrl-shift-enter, but now it is ctrl-alt-enter.

1. It is uncomfortable.

2. It is change in basic functionality and is undesirable. Very undesirable.

 

Old logic was:

ctrl-enter = copy filename

ctrl-shift-enter = copy filename with path

 

ctrl-ins = copy filename to clipboard

ctrl-shift-ins = copy filename with path to clipboard

 

adding alt to ether combination results in alternate short/long form of filename copying.

 

Now alt and shift keys functionality is interchanged.

new logic

 

Ctrl-Insert - copy LFN (!.!)

Shift-Crtl-Insert - copy SFN (~!.!~)

 

Alt-Ctr-Insert - copy LFN+LFN_Path (!:!\!.!)

Shift-Alt-Ctrl-Insert - copy SFN+SFN_Path (!:!~\~!.!~)

Hi Every1!

 

Checkboxes:

yes, i know that the simple bracket difference is not the best solution, BUT it is the easiest

(example: RadioButtons and Checkboxes (also no big difference)) because TV already has provided functions to change the bracket layout

especially when we take in consideration that every addition takes up memory and runtime; at the mmoent the new CheckBoxesE only added a few 100 bytes and almost no modification of existing code, BUT a big enhancement of comfortability

 

Dan, the last version was a public release :)

 

Elfy, copying filenames:

Garl informed me that there was SHIFT-ALT mixed up when copying LFN with(out) PATH in the last version

i fixed that, but probably changed ALT and SHIFT in the wrong direction to make it work

(btw, ???+ENTER and ???+INS now wotk exactly the same way except for the destination the string is copied to)

it would be no problem to exchange SHIFt and ALT

 

my suggestion:

i will make an option where you can choose wether you want to have SHIFT do the LFN/SFN or the PATH/w/o PATH copy operation?

Garl, you say some new things and some right things. But all right things are not new, and all new things are wrong. Read my post intently. SFN or LFN defined in "Long File Name Setup".

 

AngelsHolocaust, about checkboxes, ok, I understand. But maybe in the future... :) Some marker really needed, scroll-bar, or some text/char on last/first line. Something must exist that user can see and push for next/prev page. The best of all would be something intuitive like scrollbar or explicit instructions like text "More options" instead last/first checkbox line.

 

About copy filenames to clipboard and command line. You are right. Ctrl-Enter and Ctrl-Insert work fine, they copy name in the form that choosen into "Long File Name Setup". But old (and right) behaviour of additional Alt was switching to alternate form (LFN/SFN), behaviour of additional Shift was adding pathname. It's so simple and so usual. And I asked for let it be countless times since I take interest in NDN. For some (unknown) reason all developers like to break this logic. :) Are you do not use this function? :lol:

 

BTW, there is no need in that option, just try to press alt-ctrl-enter by one hand several times. It's inconveniently! Really.

Some cosmetical bugs.

 

049 [f]

After Quick rename (that actually is move) passive panel isn't refreshed.

 

050 [res]

In archive in status line Shift-F6 = Reanimator :)))

And wish: assign Shift-F6 to rename/move single file. Like Shift-F8.

Hi!

 

i do use the function, BUT in the past year i hardly worked with NDN except for programming itself :P

 

so i do not recognize bugs or operation behaviour changes when they happen

 

i didn't know that SHIFT was the PATH selector, and ALT the LFN/SFN selector

 

i will change it back now

hi!

 

i have changed the behaviour to SHIFT = with PATH

ALT = LFN <-> SFN

elfy is right, we should keep the old convention

 

btw garl, the UseDefBG was a great idea :)

alt-leftArrow, alt-rightArrow for gone to open/close bracket conflicts

with block moving. :(((((

 

053 wish

"*FREE* " strings in status line are excess. Even if you like NC interface

with hardplaced "buttons" in status line this text is not needed.

Moreover, I think that this inteface feature is not good idea at all and

it is unpractical space usage. In any case my thanks to Garl for lack

of it in russian resources.

You can read hotkeys reference ;)

 

btw, I convert it to html and restructure it. Now I work on last and the largest part "editor". Maybe someone evaluate it. I hope for this.

well, it doesnt conflict - if blocks are off then brackets

work

do you work with persistent blocks?

necromancer does, he didnt complain about this feature (which is quite *old* by now) yet, and if he doesnt complain then there is usual no need to work on it :P

this is a reminder for me that the statuslines are not finished, of course it is not needed, but it also doesnt bother me at all

the idea is that maybe some people (or myself) have a good ideas on what function to place there

almost all functions that do not use Fx-keys will be removed from Statusline sooner or later as soon as i need the space

 

i want NDN to look as professional as possible

and hardplaced buttons with strlen = 6 are part of it

of course, *FREE* is not perfect

therefore i changed it to ' '

 

thanks,

Stefan/AH

Dan, the last version was a public release :)

Here's a bug discovered in a funny way: I went to http://ndn.muxe.com/archives/

instead of just http://ndn.muxe.com. The Download link in http://ndn.muxe.com/archives/

points to http://ndn.muxe.com/archives/dwl.php , which doesn't exist.

The correct URL is http://ndn.muxe.com/dwl.php .

 

I suppose http://ndn.muxe.com/archives/ somehow serves the index.html

in http://ndn.muxe.com but without setting all links correctly.

 

BTW, the text beneath the screenshot still reads

"Latest version : 2.14 Build 5661"

Yes. And some block exist nearly always. And I can't see that before trying alt-arrow.

For what? There must be most useful and most used function, Fx or not Fx -- it does not matter at all!

Strange mistake. Compact status line is one of great features of DN.

hi! :)

 

Ctrl+K,[]...

hm, if you keep CTRL+K pressed when pressing [] then it works (at least here)

 

i will make an option to turn dual alt-cursor support on/off

Wow.

But they must be pressed separately, in sequence. As other ^K function.
