Navigate-browse between folders without Tree

[bogordo]

Hi,
Just wondering if there is a way (Googled it but nothing) to browse in directories with a shortcut:
Moving from "Projects/Project 1" to "Projects/Project 2", "Projects/Project 3"...

I know there is the Tree, but could i browse not using this? just like "Alt + left/right arrow" to go previous/forwrd dir, but for "Next dir".

Thank you,

Perhaps the Directory Hotlist feature is of use to you.

Mmm i use Directory hotlist but i don't see this feature is related to my request since for DH you have to previously save the folders, i want a way to browse in any drive-folder (not adjusted previously)

You want to go up 1 directory and then enter the next directory in the file list?
Something like this?

Code: Select all

cm_GoToParent,cm_GotoNext,cm_GotoDir

browse in directories with a shortcut:
Moving from "Projects/Project 1" to "Projects/Project 2", "Projects/Project 3"...

Or:
- backspace (index finger)
- arrow down (little finger)
- enter (middle finger)

like one move



Or maybe you would like "menu Configuration > Options... > Layout > [x]show breadcrumbs" (((while there, press F1 or click at [Help] to read more)))

I really agree that Breadcrumbs is just what bogordo needs.

The default settings for breadcrumbs seems a little too slow and cumbersome to use, so I recommend these settings in the wincmd.ini [Configuration] section:

Code: Select all

BreadCrumbMaxWidth=300
BreadcrumbDelayButton=-250
BreadcrumbDelayVirtual=50
BreadcrumbDelayFtp=50
BreadcrumbdelayPlugin=50
BreadcrumbDelayDir=50
BreadcrumbSeparator=0

cm_GoToParent,cm_GotoNext,cm_GotoDir

That works fine!! (since i want a button-text solution), i added the "previous" option too (tried "cm_GotoPreviousDir" but has to be "cm_GotoPrev")

Code: Select all

cm_GoToParent,cm_GotoPrev,cm_GotoDir

This way, with buttons-aliases or with external "hardware extra buttons stuff" (not brands) you can navigate smooth

Thank you for your help,

you can navigate smooth

It's not smooth. At the end of the list, you will get an exit from the folder on the [..] or stop at the file in the parent. In addition, all the flickering will be displayed, which cannot be called smooth in any way.
Try the TCFS2-based buttons:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Utils\TCFS2\TCFS2.exe
/ef msg($0B,0) tcm(2002) tcm(3303) tcm(2054) tcm(2003) tcm(2918) msg($0B,1) redraw()
WCMICON2.DLL,18
Go to previous folder in the parent directory

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Utils\TCFS2\TCFS2.exe
/ef msg($0B,0) tcm(2002) tcm(3303) tcm(2053) tcm(2003) tcm(2918) msg($0B,1) redraw()
WCMICON2.DLL,19
Go to the next folder in the parent directory

I myself use a script that works even milder, but it needs an additional ActiveX (portable).

Well, the blink is not annoying, at the last folder it simply blinks and does nothing. Maybe i should used "easy/handy" instead of smooth. The solution you propose is too complicated/not comfortable for me

Thank you all,

The solution you propose is too complicated/not comfortable for me

I don't see any basis for such a statement. What could be more comfortable and convenient in the solution you have chosen, which is worse in quality?

[petermad]

What could be more comfortable and convenient in the solution you have chosen

No need to download and install TCFS2.exe - perhaps?

Exactly

I've written some scripts for PowerPro. I use them (last ones) every day. Is that you are looking for?

[Fla$her]

What do you mean by "install"? People call it unpack. Downloading and unpacking are not related to usability issues of the buttons themselves.

Not easy to know whether it had to be installed or unpacked, if you haven't used it before.

No, but the usability was not the issue of your statement:

What could be more comfortable and convenient in the solution you have chosen

It was about comfortability and convenience, and to me just copying a line of em_commands into a new button seems more conveniant than first having to download a new utility, copying your buttons and adapting the path therein to match my folder structure.

Anyway - as far as I can see your solution is basically the same as using:

Code: Select all

cm_GoToParent,cm_SelectAllFolders,cm_GotoPrevSelected,cm_GoToDir,cm_ReloadSelThumbs

I realize that TCFS2 has the ability to disable TC's redrawing of the file panel, while performing the commands - hence no flickering - so yes that is a plus. Your trick with using cm_GotoPrevSelected is smart if you want to avoid going up-dir when on [..] in the parent dir, but that is only when you don't want to continue up the tree (which I would prefer).

And why the cm_ReloadSelThumbs at the end? - nothing is selected at that moment anyway.

It would be nice though if TC by itself postponed redrawing of the window while performing multi-commands. - This mad me make this request: viewtopic.php?t=78585
