TAM ChangeLog..

 2023 08 15

1.7-17: now it's possible to rename files.. So, how to: ren <file index> <new name>

press TAB to expand <file index> into full or short form - just type command "ren <file index>" and press TAB.

Tip: press F12 to reset command line.

2023 08 17

1.7-23: makes possible to copy files ==>> cp <file index> <new name>

Actually, "cp" command has the same routine as the "ren".

PS.. keep in mind: this variant overwrites existing file silently.

2023 08 18

1.7-29: 'cp' command is safe.

2023 08 19

1.7-31: resolved sad problem w/ apostrophe in file names :)

2023 08 21

so far the're problem to search files with apostrophe in their names, thus we can use crutch-ish workaround: -in_name  'grep==-E  [^a-zA-Z.\d\s]s\s|[^a-zA-Z.\d\s]t\s'

2023 08 23

1.7-35: "rm  <file index>" to delete file.

TIP: killed file gives "::D" mark in the table, otherwise a file wasn't removed.

...

v 1.8-21 has been disclosed and now, Dear User, let's learn its features..

2023 09 12

v 1.8-43.. Now, Dear User, You can define behavior for autocompletion  mode - just run TAM w/ the flag "-me-stop-mode1", so You need explicitly switch autocompletion off (press F12 for).

2023 09 19

2023 11 18

v 1.9-101: type command "just [y]es to kill file", so file deletion requires just a simple "Y|y|yes" to approve the operation.

2023 11 20

v 1.9-106: better integration w/ mc (Midnight Commander).

------

v 1.9-111: vdir <path to directory> . vdir means "virtual directory", this command makes actual dir which contains soft (symbolic) links to files from commands SIEVE and SHOW MRG

2023 11 23

v 1.9-115: uvdir <path to directory> - this command unlinks all symbolic links in given folder. Be careful, Dear User, don't use it for system dirs  (/, /usr, /lib, /sys, ...). 2ndly, You can turn off auto-complete mode w/ Page UP (PgUP).
