Branch view to display all folders ( not files )

[aviasd]

Hi
Does anyone know of a plugin/way to display all folders under the current folder in branch view?

Ctrl+B shows only files but i'd really like an option to display all folders and then just do a quicksearch to find my subfolder instead of going 4 levels down the manual way

( Currently i'm using "Everything" to locate the file/folder and then double click pushes the result to Totalcmd)

thanks

You can't.
You only can save search template in Alt+F7 dialog (set attribute 'directory' and desired search depth and then save template) and then load it just by buttonbar button or hotkey with command LOADSEARCH myTemplate and then feed results to listbox.

Try to search for directories only, show find dialog, select advanced tab and check "Attributes> Directories" then feed the result to list box.

Good idea ! dunno why it did not cross my mind...
Thx

Edit: Still i'd have to use the feed to listbox though...
Would be nice to have this built-in but a good workaround never the less..

Branch View Extended - you can find it on totalcmd.net - can do this. I use it for this exact reason, the lack of folders showing in TC's native branch view.

When you install the plugin, the folders are given the extension '/' (so you can sort by the ext column to put them at the top, though this is not necessary to be able to filter on them).

You normally open the plugin via Network Neighbourhood, but you can create a toolbar button for it as such:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cd
\\\BranchViewEx\%p
C:\totalcmd\WCMICONS.DLL,51
Branch View Extended

I tried it. it's kinda buggy though..
typing a directory partial name then ./ to filter to directories does not work, and pressing enter on a dir opens the "Open with" dialog of windows.. I guess i could associate it with totalcmd but it seems kinda clanky..

Thx for the tip though !
I think i'll stick with MVV's suggestion and use some AHK script to feed the result to the listbox...

Hm, works fine here. Not sure why it doesn't on your system. Using *./ should also work as well.

and pressing enter on a dir opens the "Open with" dialog of windows.. I guess i could associate it with totalcmd but it seems kinda clanky..

Or do what I do, Ctrl+left/right arrow (to open it in the opposite pane).

It seems that it doesn't work with links to items in subfolders (with '/' in names)...
Works ok:

Code: Select all

AutoRun.inf
Background.bmp
datapane.bmp

Doesn't work:

Code: Select all

Use the Everything integration in TC and enter the following search command in TC with Everything checkbox enabled:

Code: Select all

ed:folder:optional_name

This will show only dirs in the whole tree starting on the current TC path.
You can also add some details after the folder: to only show matching results

Install Everything service and let Everything running in the background as usual.
Enable the Everything checkbox in TCs search dialog
and put the string I gave you in the "Search for:" field.

Read this topic viewtopic.php?&t=50925 it is not AHK script but at least gives you a hint how to get TC's control handle using SendMessage

08.06.16 Added: Send WM_USER+50 with wparam=1..29 -> returns window handle of control. Controls are:
1=leftlist, 2=rightlist, 3=active list, 4=inactive list, 5=leftheader, 6=rightheader, 7=leftsize, 8=rightsize, 9=leftpath, 10=rightpath, 11=leftinfo, 12=rightinfo, 13=leftdrives, 14=rightdrives, 15=leftpanel, 16=rightpanel, 17=bottompanel, 18=lefttree, 19=righttree, 20=cmdline, 21=curdirpanel, 22=inplaceedit, 23=splitpanel, 24=leftdrivepanel, 25=rightdrivepanel, 26=lefttabs, 27=righttabs, 28=buttonbar, 29=buttonbarvertical (32/64)

I use ALT+F10 do see the directory tree starting with the actual directory.
