About %S/%s parameters...

07.02.07 Added: Button bar, start menu: New parameters %S and %s pass list of selected files (long names/short names) to the called program.

Glad to see this new feature.
But I have certain files or folders like "- abc" (begin with "-" and a space). This kind of files or folders can't be passed to the called program successfully.
As weird as they look like, lst2str.exe has no problem with them.

thx for implementing that!!!

Attention: if u have marked files in c:\temp and the Startpath-Param to D:\temp the files are search in d:\temp and NOT in c:\temp
dunno if thats a bug???

This isn't actually a problem of Total Commander - many programs detect command line strings starting with a dash as a parameter, not as a file name.

This is normal, %S passes only the file NAMES to the called program.


The solution for both problems is to use %P%S instead of just %S. Total Commander will then pass the complete path and file name to the called program. I assume that you did that with lst2str too, otherwise you would have encountered the same problems.

%P%S does the trick. Thank you.
And yes, I used %L with lst2str before.
