Sorting directories

Post by *raytc »

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.

Only cm_DisplayConfig, or using some macro recorder, like Windows PowerPro or Macro Express or AutoIt...

Just a workaround:

Copy your wincmd.ini to wincmd.ani
Change the 'SortDirsByName' value to 0
Create a button with

Code: Select all

Command: %Commander_path%\totalcmd.exe /N /I="The_Path_To_Your_Wincmd_ini"\wincmd.any
Each time you tick this button it will load a new instance of TC with 'sort like files' activated.

Actually there IS a hotkey command:

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'.

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
