Declined Full support for list /c using @consoleb

[jdmarch]

[LIST /C] only works in stand-alone TCC windows, not in Take Command tab windows.

Could this restriction be lifted now that you support @consoleb?

In the meantime, I'm using this 1-line alias as a workaround:

listc=set _save=%@consoleb[-1] %+ echo %@consoleb[0] >NUL %+ list %$ %+ echo %@consoleb[%_save] >NUL %+ set _save=

But it seems that this would leak, because there doesn't seem to be any way to release the temporary buffer when done. (I tried @bfree and not surprisingly crashed the session.)

Thanks!

LIST /C works just fine in a tabbed window for me. What version of TC are
you running?

From the announce for Take Command 11.0 build 35:

LIST - disabled the /C option when running in a TCMD tab window.

so in tabbed windows, "list /c somefile" behaves like "list somefile".

No; it's a Windows limitation. There's no way for TCMD to know that a
console window has changed to a new console.

Sorry, Rex, I'm lost. Isn't the point of /c to avoid cluttering the screen buffer? (It certainly is for me.) The alias in my original post does this AFAICT. If an alias can do it, can't a command do it?

Also, can you address the memory leakage issue that I raised in the original post? (When @consoleb is used to make and use a temporary screen buffer, is that buffer deallocated? If not, isn't this a bug?)

Thank you!

Couldn't TCC tell TCMD?
