Total Commander

[nsp]

I've done a small utility for TC and other file manager.

This tool get a list of file, build and launch a batch according to some options and parameters.

You can get latest version here
Latest version(update only)
Lexer file for synwrite tcbl.lcf

More details :
this is a lst2multi replacement with more features !

A) Why should i use it ?
- I want to execute some command from TC toolbar with more than one file (the %l %L).
- The command i want to execute is an internal shell command.
- I want to execute more than one command for each file.
- ....
Personnaly i use inside TC to launch a lot of imagemagick command resize,rotate,contrast...

B) is it easy to use ?
- if you know how to do thing with a dos console you are able to use it !


C) Why a bat/cmd file is used :
- you can use all system command (echo, ren, copy, move, .... ) depending
of your command interpreter.
- the -e option allow you to edit in notepad the created batch in order
to complete / modify before execution.

- the -E option allow you to use a bat file to edit the created batch in order
to complete / modify before execution.

Do you know the MakeBat plugin by TC author?
http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/makebat.html

I think that we have a standalone version now.

2nsp: it's nice!

With -e could you make it start the shell open command handler for txtfile instead of notepad? On my system .txt is associated with my preferred editor.

OT but since you do a lot of command-line image editing, have you found a good way to visually compare image files side-by-side?

When using $$, it is replaced with $. ($dot), looks like a bug.

is it possible for you to make use of %commander_path%?

currently i am using it in the start menu:

menu8=-Addons - Image Magick - Image Manipulation
menu9=Addons - Image Magick - Resize 50%
cmd9=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param9=%L C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\convert.exe -resize 50%%%% $f %T$z.50percent.$e
menu10=Addons - Image Magick - Resize 150%
cmd10=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param10=?%L C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\convert.exe -resize 150%%%% $f %T$z.150percent.$e
menu11=Addons - Image Magick - Rotate 90° to Right
cmd11=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param11=%L C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\mogrify.exe -rotate 90 $f
menu12=Addons - Image Magick - Rotate 90° to Left
cmd12=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param12=%L C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\mogrify.exe -rotate -90 $f
menu13=Addons - Image Magick - Rotate 180°
cmd13=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param13=%L %commander_path% C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\mogrify.exe -rotate

would be a lot easier (usb stick) to use %commander_path% instead of e.g. C:\xp\util\tcmd\

thx

Own sample - description:
Backup button in TC Buttonbar. There a command with parameters will be
passed to TCBL, to copy all marked files into a folder named with
format yyyy_mm_dd_hhmmss (i.e. backup_2006_10_23_125905).

Buttonbar entry:
Command:%COMMANDER_PATH%\tc_tools\tcbbl\tcbl.exe
Parameter:%L xcopy /Y/H/R/I/Q $f "%Tbackup_$Y_$M_$D_$t\*.*"
Icon file:%COMMANDER_PATH%\icons\whatyoulike.icl,10
Tooltip:Copy to folder yyyy_mm_dd_hhmmss in target panel

Unfortunately it copies only files. So if I mark some folders it
copies only the files in the last of the marked folder, and if this
folder contains a subfolder, this subfolder will not be copied.
If I add the /E switch I get duplicates of all subfolders.

Any ideas how to make it work to copy all marked files and/or
folders including the subfolders?

-------------- EDIT ------------
Alternatively I made a batch file which does the same but copying
all files and folders of the actual dir into the new and formated folder in target panel.
According to this thread: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=2395

"echo F$Pxcopy"
How can I find out what xcopy on a german system is waiting for? F doesn't work.
F = File (would be D = Datei in german but this doesn't work )

BTW another question. Must $f be included in double quotes in case there's a path or file name with spaces?

EDIT: And yet another question. Must I give xcopy a switch like /EXCLUDE:"%Tbackup_$Y_$M_$D_$t\" to avoid enless copying if I have the same path in both panels?
Don't need it, because xcopy does nothing if one has the same path in both panels.

OK thanks. The letter for the echo is D -> %L echo D$P. But the button doesn't work. No directory is created nor files are copied.
