[solved] Folder shortcut button in the focused side

[slated]

Hello,

I have been trying to create a folder shortcut in the button bar and it works well except that it opens the folder in the side that I'm not working on.

I do understand why it behaves like this but was wondering if there any way to have a button open the folder in the currently focused side? (without the need to focus the other side and open the folder).

Thanks

Try this:
Command:

Code: Select all

cd %P

Parameter: emtpy
Start path:

Code: Select all

D:\FolderYouWantInTargetPanel\

cd %P

in the command field will not work - the command field does not accept TC parameters like %P.

If you for example want a button that takes you to c:\windows you can use the following code.
Just copy ALL the code here under to clipboard (Ctrl+C), right-click on the button bar in TC and select "Insert":

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cd c:\windows

%COMMANDER_EXE%,6
Open Windows Folder


-1

Yo can afterwards edit the button to point to the folder of your choice.

Thank you very much guys, now it works as I want. Looks like my command command wasn't right when I started.

right-click on the button bar in TC and select "Insert":

For me it is just that:
Change
Set default icon library

And no: Insert

Right, the %P wont work in "Command" but it's not supposed to do anything in this case anyway.

So Command: cd
Parameter: %P
Start patch: PathForTargetPanel

So Command: cd
Parameter: %P
Start patch: PathForTargetPanel

That will open the directory in the non-focused panel - that is not what
slated wanted.

You have to have the data in the clipboard first - mark ALL of the code (in green) below and press Crtl+C (or right-click and choose Copy):

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cd c:\windows

%COMMANDER_EXE%,6
Open Windows Folder


-1

and then go to TC an right click on an empty space in the button bar.
