Directory hotlist doesn't show check mark

[qx87]

TC is in path c:\Programs\totalcmd\

Add new item to directory hotlist, specify command:
cd %COMMANDER_PATH%\..

Clicking on that hotlist menu item does changes curdir correctly. But if one open hotlist menu in that directory (c:\Programs) there is no check mark against corresponding menu item.

I can confirm the behavior.

The question is, how much work should TC put into checking if the current directory matches any of the directory list's items. Should it follow such relative path specifications? Should it follow junctions and symllinks? What if this ends up in a recursion (endless loop)?

Confirmed. (it works for %COMMANDER_PATH% though)

It also doesn't work for %COMMANDER_PATH%\. (one dot).

It also doesn't work for or %COMMANDER_INI%\.. which is of a little more than academic interest, because it is actually useful for going to the folder that holds TC's .ini files (without placing the cursor on TC's current .ini file).

The current path has to match the path of the directory hotlist menu item, otherwise it will not be checked. With ".." you can make these paths very complex, e.g. cd %COMMANDER_PATH%\..\..\some_other_directory etc.
