Copy or move file to target so that when I {tab} over, the copied / moved file is focused in the list

[9kvD38n6]

If I copied / moved several files, focus might be put on the last file copied / moved, even though this really just makes sense when operating on a single file. The idea is that if the target folder has lots of files it can take a lot of scrolling to locate the file I just copied, e.g. when I want to copy its new path to the clipboard. Having an option (on the copy / move dialog?) to focus the new target file would be helpful in that case. But maybe it's already possible? Thanks.

I've been looking for something like this for a very long time, but it seems that it's not possible right now.

Maybe this has already been requested?

For copying you can use this button to find the copied file in the other panel:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_EXE% /A /O
/S /R=%P%N
WCMICONS.DLL,19
Mark file in opposite panel with same name as file under cursor


-1

To make the button:
1. Mark the green text above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctri+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

It will of course not be of any use for moved files

Sorry for necro-ing this thread, but I wanted to share the PowerPro script I'm using to

• Automatically put the new path of a single file moved from the left to the right pane on the clipboard

• at the same time switch focus to the right pane and focus the newly moved file in the list for further processing.

This is often very useful to me. If anyone is interested, please let me know and I can simplify / explain the script or re-post it as an Autohotkey script.

Code: Select all

		local FileNameAndExtension = .Misc@TC_GetInfo("S","NameExt")
		;; .Misc@Debug(FileNameAndExtension)
		.misc@AHKSend("{f6}{enter}", "ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD")
		wait.for(150)
		clip.set(.Misc@TC_GetInfo("T","PathOnly")++FileNameAndExtension)
		.Misc@OSD_Bar("Target path put on clipboard.")
		do(?$c:\Program Files\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE$, ?$/O /S /P=R /R="$++.Misc@TC_GetInfo("T","PathOnly")++FileNameAndExtension++?$"$) ;; DON'T CHANGE to message call as wait for copy finished too unreliable
		;; move back out of archives for .xml archive files of new Office formats:
		if(find(FileNameAndExtension, ".docx")+1 or find(FileNameAndExtension, ".xlsx")+1 or find(FileNameAndExtension, ".pptx")+1)
			.misc@AHKSend("^{PgUp}")
		return
