Fixed New Folder History items

[FVG]

Is it possible to fasten some items in the New Folder history so they always stay in the list to re-use them.
For example: I need many times to create the folders '32bit|64bit' and want this entry to stay in the history-list.
Thanks

Create a button. But I don't know how to create a folder with a | in it. when I perform mkdir "32bit|64bit" Windows indicates a syntax error due to the |.

A "|" is not allowed in filenames.

This button works:
(you can create multiple folders in one run; use "" if the folder names contain spaces, like md "32 bit" "64 bit" )

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cmd.exe /c
md 32bit 64bit
wcmicons.dll,2
Create 32bit / 64bit folders

When using F7 to create more than one folder '|' is allowed in TC as a separator between the different foldernames. But that's not the problem.
When creating folders using F7 the last 20 entries are stored by default in wincmd.ini.
TC uses a FiFo-system to store the entries.
I was wondering if it is possible to click some entries into this [MkDirHistory]-section of wincmd.ini so they always stays in the list.

No, that's not possible.

Well, there is a possibility to get a fixed MkDirHistory.
But with a fixed one the latest entries will not be added anymore during normal usage.

Just open your wincmd.ini file and find the section "MkDirHistory" and redirect the section to a separate file.

Code: Select all

[MkDirHistory]
RedirectSection=MkDirHistory.ini

Next create the entries which shall stay permanent.
Now set the "read-only" attribute at file "MkDirHistory.ini"

Finally you have a fixed list. New entries may added manually to the file by removing the "read-only" attribute teporarily or with an editor which handles those flags accordingly.

Support++ for new folder favorite names. Just a * icon with a configurable drop-down list.
