Im trying do make a button which makes a list of all marked files,
a playlist.

I use this command, but it says "File not found"
dir %L /b > Playlist.m3u

Im using Windows 2000 Pro, if it makes any diffrence.

Use the MakeBAT plugin to create playlists.

A commandline way of creating a playlist could be:

Command: cmd /K
Parameters: copy %L PlayList.m3u

Total Commander parameters are allowed in the parameters field only.

A nice way of changing the target filename is the ? parameter.

Command: cmd /C
Parameters: ?copy %L PlayList.m3u

cmd /K commandline window remains open after execution.
cmd /C commandline window will be closed after exection.

I have tried MakeBAT, but I couldn't make it work like I wanted.
See http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=3144

I want to select the files and then just press a button...

You can copy the list to the clipboard, with the cm_CopyFullNamesToClip command.

The commandline way worked great! Thanks!

You have to load command interpreter first!

cmd.exe /c dir /b > Playlist.m3u

Attention:
Existing Playlist.m3u is overwritten without any warning!

The intern DOS command are not found by TC. So make a mov.bat what contains

Code: Select all

move %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 

and copy it to your WINDOWS directory.
Then create a button with the command 'mov' and the parameter

Code: Select all

 %f  %PPlaylist.m3u

The double P is no write errror.
If you use %F instead of %f there will be the long names in the playlist (otherwise the DOS name with ~1 etc.).
The use of the move command is necessary because the param %f gives a list of the marked files to the started program. So this button simply moves and renames the *.tmp file that TC creates to the current Path (%P).

command: cmd.exe /c move
parameters: %f %PPlaylist.m3u

does exactly the same.

No need for an additional batch file.

The right syntax could be :

command: cmd.exe /c move
parameters: %F %pPlaylist.m3u

- %F instead of %f to get long filenames
- %p instead of %P which doesn't work for me if there is a space (or more) in the name of a parent directory.

Sorry we've all missed the Quotation mark. So it must be:
command: cmd.exe /c
parameters: %F "%PPlaylist.m3u"

because long filenames (with spaces) have to be enclosed with qoutation marks in DOS mode.

I'm looking for the opposite way:

I would like to copy all files of a playlist to a drive, i.g. USB-stick.

One idea is, that the playlist-plugin from http://darkone.dzaba.com/english/Download.html this have as an further action?

Any other ideas?

Hmm, remove unnecessary lines (in a m3u these would be all the odd lines I think) and prepend the rest with copy and append the target path? This should be fairly easy if your editor supports macros... (eg http://www.lancs.ac.uk/staff/steveb/cpaap/pfe/default.htm )
