Create and save folders list in New Folder menu

I have a need to frequently create same number of folders at once. As of now, TC has such functionality through pipeline token "|". And even this list is remembered in combobox. Alas, during the time, when I create other folders, this list will go away. So, it would be welcome if there would be ability to save frequently used folders list under some name and restore it when it's required. For instance, I frequently create folders "Folder1|Folder2|Folder3|Folder4". Then I can save this string under the name "MyList1". Then, after some time, in New Folder dialog I could select this list, and TC would create those four folders.

Try the new multi-folder creation in TC 9.10 beta! For example,
<1-4>Folder[C]
would create Folder1 .. Folder4

I gave a bad example) My folders are name not like Folder1, Folder2 etc., but they have names of regions.

I see - you could make the history length longer by adding e.g.
MaxItemsInComboBox=100
to wincmd.ini section [Configuration]. Maximum supported is 500.

It's not comfortable to search for 347-th record in drop down list)
As I see, this would be some drop down with named lists. I select a name - and folders are being created.

IMO, for such a task much more comfortable is create BAT (CMD) file with set of "MD" commands and put in the path, or AHK script and assign alias or hotkey for it.
BAT file example:
Code: Select all
MD "Directory Number 1"
MD "Directory Number 2"
MD "Folder Number 1"
MD "Folder Number 2"
MD "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0"
MD "a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z"
MD "Folder or Directory (whatever you prefer) with long, very long, or even longer name"
AHK example
Code: Select all
FileCreateDir, Directory Number 1
FileCreateDir, Directory Number 2
FileCreateDir, Folder Number 1
FileCreateDir, Folder Number 2
FileCreateDir, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
FileCreateDir, a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
FileCreateDir, Folder or Directory (whatever you prefer) with long, very long, or even longer name
For using AutoHotkey script you don't even need install AutoHotkey program, just download, unpack to TC subdirectory and create TC external command, e.g.:
Code: Select all
[em_MD_AHK_1]
cmd=%COMMANDER_PATH%\AHK\AutoHotkey.exe %COMMANDER_PATH%\AHK\MD_AHK_1.AHK
menu=Make directory AHK set 1
then assign alias or keyboard shortcut for it.

@Gral I didn't ask for external solution (why would I bother?) but I want this to be native solution. All TC must do is just to restore a string.
@ghisler So, can it be implemented the way I ask? :)
