Custom command CDing to a subfolder entered by user

[detlefs]

Hi there,

I want to create a custom command that CDs to a folder the user enters. I try so far:

[em_OpenTicketAttachment]
cmd=CD
param=?
path=z:\Base\

So, my idea is that the user enters the "ticket number" (e.g. 12345) and then the CD command changes to z:\base\12345
But it doesn't work. The dialog is opened and user can enter 12345, but the CD only changes directory to z:\Base

Any idea how to solve this?

Wouldn't it be easier to use a CD tree (ALT+F10) where you can enter a directory name?

Well, if Z:\Base is your base directory, I would just add that to the directory hotlist (Ctrl+D). Then you can just type the ticket number, provided Quick Search is set accordingly (see Configuration > Options > Quick Search).

If the command (given in the command box) is cd drive:\directory, then the path given in this edit box is set in the other window! This allows you to set both paths (source and target) at the same time.

So your only option is to use:

Code: Select all

[em_OpenTicketAttachment]
cmd=CD
param=?z:\Base\

I tried:

Code: Select all

[em_OpenTicketAttachment]
cmd=CD z:\Base\
param=?z:\Base\

but it doesn't work because TC inserts a space after z:\Base\
