The !variablename! syntax is cmd delayed variable syntax. To use it in 4NT or TCC you need to start them with the /v switch. See help cmdlineopts for more information. - Josh

The problem is the ampersand character & which is interpreted as a command separator. You can solve this several ways: 1. Temporarily set your command separator to something else: setdos /c~ ::do work here setdos /c& 2. Escape the ampersand in your input (default escape character...

All very good points. However, I still think that conceptually a plugin is a better way to do it. That way, JPSoft itself could write the plugin for very popular items (mp3 tags, exif headers, etc) while still leaving room for others to fill in the gaps for less popular items. The plugin...

When I received this post via email, the only way I could tell it was from me was the "- Josh" at the end. From: "JP Software Forums" <[email protected]> From: joshjeppson [email protected] These are the headers that Vince was referring to. The second contains my username, but the forum's...

This just started happening in the last few days and is very annoying. Users show up correctly here on the web forum but the email versions look like the same person having a conversation with himself. - Josh

Perl has the perfect library for this: Image::ExifTool It supports reading and writing tags for myriad of audio, video and image file formats. If Perl isn't your thing, I found a simple win32 command line tool for id3 & id3v2 manipulation. There are lots of exif manipulation tools out there...

Ummm.... No. In fact, according to RFC 1855 the subject should be as meaningful as possible. Other netiquette guidelines found via Google suggest that a message consisting only of a subject is acceptable, depending upon the group. Since there is not a netiquette guideline available for this...

For the record, probably the easiest way to find the ini file is to run this at a TCC prompt: echo %_ininame- Josh

They don't have to be obsolete or disconnected. I've seen this problem on a freshly rebooted system with only one network drive attached shortly before starting Take Command.

Do you have any mapped network drives? Take Command does some sort of costly iteration when it first starts that is very expensive for network drives. - Josh

Add a variable to TCC to determine if it is the active tab or modify %_tctab to include additional values that indicate whether the tab is active or visible. Add new variables (these would be 0 or undefined when %_tctab is 0): %_tctabactive 0 - Not active tab 1 - Active tab %_tctabvisible...

Actually, I would like to use the syntax. My problem is that I don't have any control over what that syntax does. So I would like to have that control or at least the ability to turn that syntax off to avoid the lack of control. I just want a method to force all forms of directory changes...
