[Bug] In directory mode when some directories in a branch are tagged, Ctrl F9 still tags all directories. Stats are also incorrect particularly after repeated use of Ctrl F9.

Apparently a related, or similar bug: --

So far, I've noticed two plain-text files (out of perhaps 100), each with multiple paragraphs separated by a blank lines, where searching for a frequently-occurring (highlighted) word progresses up to a point -- whereupon the display freezes, and the highlighted string "hides" one line below the bottom of the frozen display, no matter how many times the space bar is pressed. (In one of these two files, there are two separate, reoccurring "freeze points".)

A manual "page-down" (past the freeze point) restarts the normal progress (when pressing the space bar), and allows the search to progress to the bottom of the page -- whereupon the highlighted word jumps back to the top, and then down the page (as before) -- to where the display freezes again at the very same point(s) as before...

Using Notepad++, I don't see any odd characters hiding in these files, they're just 8-bit ASCII, plain text files. And the search strings are only 8 or 9 characters long...

Kim, I'll send you copies of the two "example" files...

The Treespec command appears to be broken in this version - you can't type anything after so I have had to revert to v2.4.69.

I don't know if ZTreeWin logs the other dates as well, but it's a certainty that ZTreeWin currently doesn't allow you to sort by other dates than the modification date/time.
See also this post by John Gruener, and the rest of that thread and the posts he links to.

Kim’s stated reason for not implementing sort by other dates (yet) is:

“It doesn't make sense to me to be able to sort by anything that you can't see, so the first priority will be an option to display other timestamps.”

For a moment there, I thought F8 had become a replacement token... But you mean that pressing [F8] while editing the target name will insert the selected file/dir name of the opposite pane at the cursor's location (and/or replace the currently selected characters).

*<{press F8}>.*

That can definitely be handy!

Now the F8 option is displayed in the Copy, Move and Rename menus at the right
(if the window is wide enough).

For the Ctrl commands it doesn't make sense to display the F8 option, as you are working on a bunch of files.  
F8 however works in the Ctrl-menus! - and is usable even when you apply it to a bunch of files - you just have to extend the "As: " prompt as you need.
Example: To append the album behind the song title, highlight the album dir in the opposite pane,
then Ctrl-Rename the tagged songs to * < F8 >.* (without blanks)

Thanks again to Kim for his work!

ZbarFileInfo displays creation dates.

ZTreeWin logs all dates, and in dir mode Unsorted is actually sorted by creation date, but AFAIK there is no way to use them otherwise. I have used ZAAP to process creation dates, but this is not straightforward.]]> http://www.ztw3.com/forum/forum_entry.php?id=114041 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:03:50 GMT Post by Kim Henkel, Jan 31,2012 at 20:01:

Please see: http://www.ztw3.com/forum/forum_entry.php?id=111421 for background on the new Directory mode.

IMPORTANT: Starting with build 2.4.31, under Vista/Windows 7, all user files (ZTW.HST etc.)
will be written to the current users' profile directory at %APPDATA%ZTreeWin, if ZTree is
itself installed under "Program Files". This is to avoid installation issues related to UAC and
remove reliance on the VirtualStore.

Hi again
It would be helpful to increase publicity for the nice "F8 Current Opposite name"
feature.  It works not only in Rename as described in help, but in Copy and Move as well.

See http://www.ztw3.com/forum/forum_entry.php?id=113978

> Details will follow ...

Can reproduce it now:
- Start a native ZTW session (no ztw.ini) for clearness.
- Set CO-1U "Refresh file window on split screen Tab" to Current
  and CO-3H "Maintain file position in each directory" to Yes.
- Have a dir with some files. Copy at least one of them to a subdir.
  Same name seems relevant.
- Start ZTW, split panes, go to that dir, log the branch and enter Branch view.
- Highlight the same-named file in the PARENT dir and TAB twice.
The cursor returns to the highlighted file.
- Highlight the same-named file in the CHILD dir and TAB twice.
Now the cursor does NOT return to that file, but to the previous one instead.

This was okay in v2.4.67.

This is quite a fundamental question. What if one day Alt+K is used for some other function in file window? Maybe the same function would be useful in dir mode too. But we have burned this key for Alt+KByte.

This applies to other keys too. We still have many of them available in dir mode which can be used. But it would be inconsistent if similar functions would have different keys in dir and file mode.

On the other hand I also see that some functions need to be added to the dir mode and it's the question which keys to use for them. Not an easy design decision.

Nice program. Free, stand-alone (no installation), clean design, good help file, keyboard friendly, config file saved in program's home directory, nothing added to the Registry.

And if you've installed ZTree into the context menu using ZTREE.INF, you can right-click anywhere to launch ZTree at that directory.

> Change- Alt-F10 - CO-3C Initial Sort character set (ANSI/OEM)

First, thanks for this Kim. Very nice.

The default appears to be OEM, therefore at 3.7.3 C it should show OEM rather than ANSI.

In 2.7 Alt-Sort F4 Tree, a third line is left over from the description copied from 2.4.

First I could not reproduce it either but I think I have found it now:

1.) Two directories on the same level fully logged:
"D:TestA"
"D:TestAA"
with at least one file in "D:TestA". It seems to be important, that the longer path is identical to the shorter one with just additional characters!

2.) Rename
"D:TestA" to "D:TestAAA" and
"D:TestAA" to "D:TestA

3.) Refresh "D:Test" with F3. This step is necessary to produce the issue!

4.) Now rename again:
"D:TestA" to "D:TestAA" and
"D:TestAAA" to "D:TestA

5.) Showall and put the cursor on the file in "D:TestA" and treespec into the directory then you end up in "D:TestAA".

Can you list all the steps you actually took then, because from my trying to follow it, I didn't see the problem (correct directory was navigated to).]]> http://www.ztw3.com/forum/forum_entry.php?id=114027 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:02:28 GMT
