Sorting directories
In the options-layout-display menu Directories can be sort By name and
like files (also by time).
Default = By name
Mostly I'am using "By name" but sometimes I would like to
sort "like files".
I tried to create a shortcut (and toolbar icon) but I have not seen the option "sort directories like files" and "sort directories by name" in the toolbar/hotkeys menu.
Someone knows a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Just a workaround:
Copy your wincmd.ini to wincmd.ani
Change the 'SortDirsByName' value to 0
Create a button with
Each time you tick this button it will load a new instance of TC with 'sort like files' activated.

Sheepdog -
Would you mind removing your silly Leonard Cohen tag line (the tag line's silly, not Cohen) from your messages?
EVERY time we have to read it - process it - decide it's useless information because we've seen it a thousand times before - and then move on to the next item of true information. It steals our time, and it ain't infinite.
It's a nuisance and it adds little value after the first time. It's like a joke: not funny the second time....
Come on, there are many pretty useless signatures around here.
You don't have to read them if you don't like them...

Yes I would. There is another kind of joke that going better and better as more often you hear/see/read it. At cinema it's called 'running gag'.PeterTBCarp wrote:Would you mind removing your silly Leonard Cohen tag line
Now I would not argue if this is or not. I simply decided to keep it my signature - till I find one I like better.
sorry
