TC-tree (and debugger)
I might be doing something wrong here or maybe I have missed something in the doc, so I'd like to discuss a few things and see if these are 'real' feature-requests or more issues of RTFM or (ab)usage ;)
Thanks
Michael

- I often find myself wishing the current TC-Tab would CD into the directory that has been opened in the tree. Been thinking an internal variable ("treepath") or so might help in setting up an alias linked with a keystroke - but could not find anything in that direction. Surely others must have had similar requirements?
- And syncing in the other direction is interesting as well (display current dir from tab in tree and file-pane).
- Upon creating a new directory in a TCMD-tab, the tree did not display that directory and I did not find a way to update the tree (I used simple MD c:\foo, no switches)
- I have experimented a bit with the debugger (which I find very useful) and found a few issues:
- single-stepping through code, I found that the statement to be executed next is highlighted in yellow. That is always true, except for a set-command that uses %@select, where the select comes up while the previous statement is still highlighted...(see screenie)
- I like watch and environment, but one thing would make it even more useful: a simple dropdown in the environment-tab which would give options to restrict the display to the "red variables" (changed since last command) or to those that were "accessed" (read or write) by the running batch. (Or otherwise add these to the 3d tab "batch variables")
- right-clicking a var in env-tab could also popup a menu-option "Add to watcher" (1st tab)
- And finally I would like an option in the context-menu of BTM/CMD/BAT to "Open in TC-Debugger". I tried (not too intensively, I admit) to give it a go myself with the inspiration of the existing batches, but could not quite work it out...
Thanks
