 Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2018 11:55 am Post subject: Pass COMMANDER_* environment vars when running elevated |
 |
|
TC has the brilliant feature to run programs as Administrator by putting an asterisk in front of the command.
In light of using this with the command I think it would be great if Total Commander could also pass COMMANDER_DRIVE, COMMANDER_EXE, COMMANDER_INSTANCE and
COMMANDER_PATH to this elevated command prompt. Currently, it only does so with non-elevated command prompts, unless TC itself is run as Administrator (which I prefer not to do). |

Yeah I understand and feared such a thing, too.
It wouldn't be necessary if I could pass these variables inside the Parameters field, though. For instance, if I could pass the TC path so that TC automatically expands that to the actual path, all would be fine. Unfortunately, putting "%commander_path%" in Parameters results in %C expanded + "ommander_path%", while "%%commander_path%%" requires the environment variable.
I suppose it would be a much easier fix to make the environment variables available in the Parameters field between single percentage characters, so that TC first expands them. |

Shoot, I knew I was missing something. I didn't realize in this case that parameters were allowed in the Command field, too... I must've used it sometimes, it's literally in the Help file ("You can also specify fixed parameters here.")
Thanks for bringing this to my attention again! I think I can pretty much realize everything that instigated this topic. |

Here is a workaround:
Make these two commands in your usercmd.ini:
| Code: | [em_saveenvironment]
cmd=%COMSPEC% /C set COMMANDER_ > %TEMP%\environment.tmp
iconic=1
[em_openenvironment]
cmd=*%COMSPEC% /C (for /F %i in (%TEMP%\environment.tmp) do set %i)
param=&& Start /D"%P" |
Make this button:
| Code: | TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
em_saveenvironment,cm_wait 100,em_openenvironment
%COMSPEC%
Command Prompt as Administrator (with transferred environment)
-1 |
| Quote: | To make the button:
1. Mark the green text above (including TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA in the first line and -1 in the last line).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (Ctri+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste". |
