Directory Sorter

[LordGarfio]

Hello Mr. Ghisler:

I would like known if Total Commander will have support to sort directories in a near future, physically to sort folders (at FAT Level), convert to uppercase, to lowercase.

Thanks in advanced.

pd: Excuse me my bad english please.

Hello norfie, Directory Sorter v2.1 makes the work but unfornutalely do not works with Windows XP

Well, I think now that you will understand that I want to say..., by example to convert multiple folders to lowercase or uppercase using Windows's APIs.

Thanks dude.

As workaround you can move all folder to another location and then copy them sorted back. Of course it's not a solution if the Folder contains huge amount of files...

Directory sorting cannot work on NTFS! Why? Because NTFS doesn't store dir listings as linear lists, but as a tree (a so-called B-tree). Therefore insertion of new files is always very fast, and the listing is automatically sorted by name.

Is it possible to sort directories on DATE?

Yes, Configuration - Options - Display - Sorting directories - Like files (also by time).

Hello !
- I installed a button in a bar to switch easily from a sorting mode to another.
- To do this, one can use the command :

Code: Select all

cm_SwitchDirSort=2012;

Turn directory sorting by name on/off

- It's really handy, though I don't change often the sorting mode of dirs. …
[OT] Maybe you might update your signature ? Or upgrade into 6.52 ?
