Fixed TCFILTER /C Not Working

[Jay Sage]

The TCFILTER command seems not to work:

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>tcfilter *.bak

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>echo %_tcfilter
*.bak

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>tcfilter /c

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>echo %_tcfilter
ECHO is OFF

However, after clearing the filter, the display in the File Explorer still shows only the .BAK files.

One can effectively remove the filter by specifying "." or "*". However, the value of the variable "_tcfolder" still has a filter in it. (And because it contains an ampersand, it causes strange output if echoed without surrounding quotes.)

>tcfilter * & echo "%_tcfolder"
"Search Results in bat&*"

It takes cdd /to bat: to get back to the unfiltered state.

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>*cdd /to bat:

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>echo "%_tcfolder"
"C:\commands\bat"

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>*tcfilter *

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>echo "%_tcfolder"
"Search Results in bat&*"

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>*tcfilter /c

[TCC34.00.19 | C:\commands\bat]
>echo "%_tcfolder"
"Search Results in bat&*"

Yes, same here too. Seems the refreshing is missing after /c because after a click on current directory it's okay then.

Yes, I hadn't noticed that. Apparently no message is getting through. Hopefully that is easy to fix.

I also deleted a bunch of files via the File Explorer, and they did not disappear from the display, though they actually had been deleted. Again, clicking on the folder in the left pane updated the display.

Microsoft bug -- sometime in the last few months they broke the refresh method (it now returns "not implemented").

I've added a kludge-around for 34.0.20.

Yep, it works again in build 20. Thank you!
