Issue with some "special folder/device"

Post by *nsp »

I want to have inside TC some entry to the directory hotlist that point to some specific "place".
Need to use the Windows 10 "Quick Access".
I was not able to show it using CLSID with CD ::{679F85CB-0220-4080-B29B-5540CC05AAB6} but was able to get it shown with a shortcut lnk using CD <PATH_TO>\QuickAccess.lnk.

Inside if try to add it to the directory hotlist i get the cd ::{679F85CB-0220-4080-B29B-5540CC05AAB6} as command but tis is not working at all.

Inside the quick Access , i have recorded entries that link to folder inside external devices if i click on a link this is working great but i cannot automate it using multiple CD. CD do not seems to work on the \\Quick Access folder but TC is able to show content and it is the same once i'm inside a device folder, i cannot record it into directory hotlist and CD <next level name> does not work:(

Can we have CD work from command line like a click into a folder name ?

Does one of you know a trick to have tc jump inside device folder ?

-edit- Should i move it to Bug section as directory hot-list is not working as expected ?

QuickAccess, Quick access Windows Explorer

You can append QuickAccess.lnk to your Directory Hotlist to receive QuickAccess of Windows Explorer in TC:

Code: Select all

cd X:\Path\To\QuickAccess.lnk

Maybe you can create a link and append this link to your Directory Hotlist to get your device folders in TC?

Regards,
Karl

This is what I already did, but you cannot do link for internal entry nor using cd to navigate inside :(
What i dislike is that TC is able to show and work with the mouse but it is not possible to have CD <Next Level Name> work like Click <Next Level Name>. The directory hot list store useless information for those case without any warning !

cm_GoToDir open the current folder/lnk/...... as expected but i miss to do it with CD or passing the parameter to cm_GoToDir or with a new command like cm_GoToEntry <Name> or cm_OpenEntry <Name>.

Actually it is like this for all Virtual folders - that you cannot CD into a subfolder.

Try to use CD after for example: cm_OpenDesktop, cm_OpenDrives, cm_OpenControls, cm_OpenFonts, cm_OpenNetwork or cd ::{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} or cd ::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}

This is what i have seen Peter, but once more if you go to the right position and use cm_GoToDir the "folder" is opened.
I just ask why we do not have any command to do it in order to create button / hotlist entry.
I want to navigate where i need in one jump, the hotlist is for me supposed to do it but in many case it fails.

I would like that too, but I guess it has to be raised as a feature requets then...
