Altap Salamander Support Forums

Hi On wake-up from Lock/Hibernation, Salamander shows the "Checking path ..." dialog on on top of other, unrelated windows, even when salamander's main window is entirely covered by that other window. In my opinion, it should show on top of salamander's main windows, but below any other windows cove...

Copy Error Operation masks are not supported when unpacking from archives (target path must exist or end on backslash). Could this restriction please be lifted when copy is used from panel with opened archive to panel with file system. I need this mostly to compare individual files on disk with it's...

I can confirm Jan's description. Nothing random here. wqweto (and Ether), what exactly do you refer to when saying "pretty random"? Does each new viewer window appear in a different size and/or position? Or does each viewer window appear alike but not in sync with Salamander's restored window positi...

Thanks. SelfMan, but that key or value is non-existent. But I did something, that fixed it for my Win8 system. I changed the order of languages in the language control panel applet. I moved English (United States) to the top, then checked AS. The issue was gone. I changed it back, German (Germany) t...

I now tried the virtual keyboard. It works as you said. The caps lock key does not influence the hot key combination.

I could not find any non-German HW-keyboards available to me.

Do you talk about the hardware?
If I am not mistaken you just exchange the key caps.

I can't believe no one can reproduce this. If so, certainly someone can tell me how to fix this on my end. With any AS version from 2.50 to 3.0 I checked, on any OS version from XP to Win 8 including server versions (not each end every one tested), regardless of x86 or x64, regardless of whether i c...

Yes, thanks Jan.

That's what I understood from the preceding communication. The solution is not perfect, but in my opinion absolutely adequate and sufficient.

I came up with the thoughts expressed in the former post while thinking about the perfect fix. I just thought I share.

Thanks, Jan. I thought about it again, and I came up with two possible solutions, both not perfect and maybe not worth the hassle: Try to compose the path from the values in the registry (user and machine) and additionally apply settings in App Paths (User or Machine) for salamand.exe on top of this...

We should probably introduce a new option (command line switch or inside AS configuration) to disable run-time environment variables regeneration. Yes, I thought about this, but hoped you'd be able to fix this for good. Are you able to pass such option as command line parameter? Yes, I was, but wou...

Hi Jan, thanks for your investigation and reply. I use German windows. It' the same behavior for German (Germany) locale, both with deutsch and deutsch (IBM) layout. It is also the same with English (USA) locale and it's default layout US. This is tested on Windows 7 Professional. The incident that ...

Hi everyone, I wondered, is there a way to launch the 64-bit version of cmd.exe from AS (x86) using its Command Shell command and/or the Command Line (Toolbar)? One way might be to alter the ComSpec environment variable to point to %SystemRoot%\sysnative\cmd.exe. What potential risks or incompatibil...

Hi mdruiter, I don't think so, but that was my guess at first also. But for one, values in App Paths are shared between subsystems since Win 7 (and this happens to be a Win 7 system). It used to be redirected, which strongly suggests that these settings are intended to be honored by design. And then...

Hi, I am not sure whether this is the default setting, but I use SHIFT+drive-letter to switch between drives. However, when Caps Lock is activated, AS treats the letter key without the Shift key pressed as it's hotkey. On old, mechanical typewriters, the caps lock key used to be a retainer for the s...

On most machines I use Altap Salamander on, I usually add an entry under the the App Path registry key like thus: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\salamand.exe] @="C:\\Program Files\\Altap Salamander\\salamand.exe" "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Altap Salamander\\T...
