Button Config Puzzle

[Jaguarist]

Well, here's another situation that I cannot seem to figure out.

I have made a toolbar button, the function of which I want to have TC's directory displayed in the Right lister window.

On the command line of the button configuration, I have this:

cd /R=C:\Program Files\wincmd

I have set the start path as

C:\Program Files\wincmd


OK, so here's my quandry........

If I have focus on the left lister window, the button does exactly as I wish it to do, that is, brings the TC directory to the Right lister window.

However.... If I have the focus on the Right lister window, then select my button, the TC directory goes to the Left lister window.


From what I understand in the Help file, the /R= should tell TC to always display the CD command in the Right lister window, correct??


So, what am I doing wrong here? I'm stumped on this one.

Thanks,
Jag

What the hack is "Right lister window"? Did you meant "the right panel"? Read this.[/face]

Yes, that is what I meant. But you knew that already, didn't you? But, once again, you have impressed me with your superior knowledge, terminology, and ability to be affable.


Thank you for the solution.

If you want to change directory and set focus to desired panel at once - you can use TCScript (it allows to use several commands in one button), eg.:

Code: Select all

Exec("D:\totalcmd\totalcmd.exe", "/O /R=C:\Program Files\wincmd");
PostCmd(cm_focusright);

I have been reading about that program in several threads on the board here. I believe I shall download it, and read and study about how to use it.

Thanks!!

I presumed it, but it was not so easy %).

Your impressions are not my business, actually.
