Hi,
If I type the following in the command line (using 7.55 beta 3)
cd "c:\Downloads\sftpplug097beta.zip"
I would expect TC to put the cursor on the file. However, it actually "enters" the file and shows it content. Is this really by design and if it is, what can do to just make TC put the cursor on the zip file?
/ Thanks in advance, Poul
cd <filename> behaves unexpected

Hi, ped.
Well, it all depends on what you expect.
By default, Total Commander treats archive files, among them ZIP-files, like folders. As a consequence the command cd "c:\Downloads\sftpplug097beta.zip" will enter the ZIP-file as if it were a folder.
It seems, however, that you cannot modify the behaviour of the cd command even if you configure T.C. not to treat archives as folders ([Packers] ZIPlikeDirectory=0). Hm ...
Kind regards,
Karl

OK -- I see that it (obviously) behaves as I would prefer on files that are not archives.
Anyway, what I want to achive, is to move TC's cursor onto a given file from a small 3rd party utility I am writing. I now programmatically send the cd-command to TC's command line and send an enter-keypress. As mentioned this is not suited for archives, so I wonder if there is a better (and perhaps prettier) way to do this (e.g. by using PostMessage or something...)?
Sorry if I am getting a little off topic here.
