Any way to specify target of cm_RenMov?

[jdmarch]

Is there any way to define a start menu command to move the selected files to a specific dir (not the current target dir)? It does not work to specify it as the parameter or the starting directory of the command.

Thanks.

Sorry, I've no idea how to do this with cm_RenMov (I don't think that this is possible at all), but you can use

Code: Select all

cmd.exe /c move %n d:\newdir\

Another possibility is to drag the files on a folder-shortcut on the button-bar.

Create the following button:

Title: Move selected files to c:\Your\Desired\Destination\Dir
Command: cmd /c
Parameters: for /f "delims=" %%f in (%L) do move "%%f" "c:\Your\Desired\Destination\Dir"

Works under NT4 and 2000. Correct the things in red. And you can assign hotkey to this button (use Configuration | Misc to use hotkey other than Ctrl+Alt+Fn).

Alternatively, you can create a shortcut file in "Send To" folder and access it via context menu. To move selected files press Shift+Enter on that menu item.

Alternatively, you create a button on button bar with "cd c:\your\desired\destination\dir" command and drag'n'drop files on it to copy, or Alt+drag'n'drop to move.

IMHO, it would be more intuitively clear to use Shift+drag'n'drop to move files, and Alt+drag'n'drop to create new button.

Thanks, Valentino and Florian. I created a start menu item using Valentino's button code, works like a charm. (I prefer mouse-less solutions).
