Looking for a plugin which displays file list in notepad

Post by *fdy »

Hey guys,

I remember I've been using this very handy plugin which would help me feed all files and directories to a txt file which would be opened automatically in my default editor (the one assigned to F4 key).

What I would do was to select files and directories, then I would double-click the current directory bar, and then from the context menu I would choose "List > Names only" or "Names with paths"

Then a notepad would be opened with selected files listed there.

Can you tell me which plugin I'm talking about? I'd like to install it in my TC.

Thanks in advance!

It is not a plugin definitely.
Since TC is able to pass filelists to programs, it is quite easy to do, you only need to create two EM-commands. These commands may be created from command browser (cm_CommandBrowser, you see it when you select a command for a button or directory hotlist item).

So, open directory hotlist configuration, then create your entry 'Names only', click magnifying glass button, select category usercmd.ini, then create a command with command notepad.exe (enter path to your editor) and parameter %WF. That's all! For 'Names with paths' you need similar command but with %WL (press F1 in a command configure dialog to get all possible values).
