Question-Wish about creating folders

Post by *wanderer »

Example:

I'm in the left TC panel, on a certain folder. I press F7. I see the create dir dialogue which is filled with the folder name i'm on. That's great but ATM, if i wish to create a folder with the same (or very similar name) in the other panel, i have to copy the folder name, close the dialogue, press TAB, press F7, paste the name, process it and then press Enter to create the folder. Is there a (built in TC - no plugins pls) way to do this automatically (or a plan to implement such a thing)? I tried SHIFT+F7, just in case, but no luck... ;)

TIA

Assign Shift+F7 to this user-defined command:

Code: Select all

Command: %comspec% /c md
Parameter: ?"%T%O.%E"
Or, use AHK:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
+F7::SendInput, {F7}^c{ESC}{Tab}{F7}^v

Very usefully!
I think, it can be included into new version of TC with Shift+F7 shortcut, by default.
Personal, I prefer without [dot and] extension. A checkbox or a setting string can establish that.

Thanks ICFU!
My Best Wishes,

Thanks for the tip! But when I use Shift+F7, the screen turns to black (probably a maximized Dos command window), and after around 1 second, switch back to TC and the new folder was created. However, there is no such effect if I use TC command line to create a new folder.

Thanks for your comment. I have done it as you suggested. One line was added in the usercmd.ini: iconic=1
but I still get the black screen. What could be the problem?

1. Press Alt+Enter to leave full screen mode.
2. Afterwards rightclick console window titlebar, choose "Standard values" and deactivate full screen mode.
3. Press OK.

It does not work either. Actually I have the same problem when I RUN DOS in TC, always in full screen mode. I have sellect the "window" mode in "standard values". Same effect when I run cmd.exe directly under system32 folder. I really have no idea what is going wrong!

It works! Thank you!
The registry had set the cmd.exe works in the full screen mode.

Hi everyone

Sorry for not replying sooner but i don't visit the forum that often any more due to lack of time and apparently the email notification didn't work.

Anyway, thank you all for the suggestions.

I would like to resurrect this old wish (!). Yup, 10+ yrs later!

While such solutions are fine, they do not work with plugins, which would be useful.

Example: On one panel a local folder, on the other panel the MediaAudio2 plugin which connects to a smartphone. The solutions proposed here (or the small program i have created to accomplish this task) do not work (from local to the plugin - the other way around, it works).

It would be nice to have a way (cm_MkDirToOtherPanel command?) which would check if the plugin supports a mkdir function and if yes, popup the create folder dialog and eventually create the folder in the inactive panel (with perhaps a refresh of the panel). Shift+F7 could be a preferrable shortcut, if Christian decides to implement it and include it in the default TC setup.
