You can install the content plugin filesys: https://plugins.ghisler.com/beta/wdx_filesys.zip
Then make a custom column with this Field content: [=filesys.CutNameStart.13]
And sort by that custom column

You may create a custom column even without additional plugin.
The internal tc will do it too. Just use [=tc.name:-3-] for the last 3 character.

[=tc.name:-3-] name will show the last 3 characters - but TC will still sort by the full name for that column!

Use [=tc.name:10-12] - but it only will show 001, it will still sort on the full name as I wrote previously.

how can i set this columns configuration to be active for this specific folder ?

is it possible to make a button that shifts between custom columns modes ?

You can make a "View Mode" (under Configuration) where you at the "Columns view" pick your custom column.
Then you make an "Auto Switch Mode" where you as a "Rule" choose "+: Must match" and enter your directory in the "Directory" column.
Finally you use "Set this mode" to pick the "View Mode" you made in the first step.
Remember to enable the "Automatically switch view mode on directory change" in the top of the "Auto Switch Mode" dialog.

is it possible to make a button that shifts between custom columns modes ?

You can just right click on the columns header to get a list of all your custom column views. Or you can press Shift+F1 to open the list.

You can also use this button to go directly to a specific view (assuming your view is called "Myview"):

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
OPENCUSTOMVIEW Myview

wcmicons.dll,52
Open Custom colums view "Myview"


-1

If you want a button to open the list of views, you can use this:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_SrcCustomViewMenu

wcmicons.dll,52



270

You can use this button to go to the next view on the list:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_SrcNextCustomView

wcmicons.dll,52



5501

And this to to to the previous view:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_SrcPrevCustomView

wcmicons.dll,52



5502

To make the buttons:
1. Mark the green text above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctri+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

thank you very much!

for what i need to use Auto-run commands in configuration ---> View mode ?

can you give an example ?

thanks

Let's assume that you have made the aforementioned Custom column view, containing [=filesys.CutNameStart.13] and you have named it MyCustomView and that it is the first custom columns view in the list.
Let's also assume that you want that view to automatically be used when you enter the folder c:\MyFolder

Then:
1. Open "Configuration" -> "View Modes".
2. Click the button "Add".
3. Name the View mode: "MyViewMode".
4. At field "Columns view:" open the dropdown list and choose: "1. MyCustomView".
5. In the field "Auto-run commands:" write "|cm_SrcLong" - without the qutation marks, notice the | in front - it will return you to normal Full view when you leave the directory.

6. Open "Configuration" -> "Auto Switch Mode".
7. Check the box "Automatically switch view mode on directory change".
8. Click the button "Add".
9. Leave the "+ Must match" Rule as it is.
10. In the "Directory:" field type: c:\MyFolder\
11: In "Set this mode:" select: "MyViewMode".
12: Click OK.
