[b4] How to cm_PackFiles into current dir with parameters?

[LonerD]

TC 11 beta5

Code: Select all

[em_PackFilesCurrentDir]
cmd=cm_PackFiles
param=T="%N.zip"

(or %B or %O instead %N).

Not the same as Ctrkl+Alt+F5, but something.

I want pack selected files\folders into current dir (in the same panel). Give me example how do that with parameters?

any changes for beta 5 ?

Yes, use the following on a button, in start menu, or for a hotkey:
Command: cm_PackFiles
Paramters: /T="%B0.ZIP"
This works except for the root of the drive, there it only creates an archive named .ZIP

or for a hotkey:

The parameter %B0 does not add a directory name here. Only on a button and in start menu.
Or am I wrong?

Do you have created an own UserDefinedCommand in usercmd.ini for that?
To that em_command you can assigned a hotkey...

Thank you! This method is known to me.
It's just that the Parameters: field has now appeared for hotkeys.

The parameter %B0 does not add a directory name here.

It only adds a name of file. %B is the name of the parent directory, so if the parent directory is named "Parent", the suggested archive name will be "Parent.ZIP". When you don't specify a target directory, Total Commander will pack to the same directory.

Sorry! I'm talking about the fact that the parameter is not disclosed: zip:%B0.ZIP

[ghisler(Author)]

%B0 is disclosed, it's a regular placeholder for the parameters field. Press F1 in the button bar change dialog:

%B, %B0..%B9
adds a directory name from the path (including the relative path from branch view, or the search result).
%B or %B0 = parent directory, %B1 = grandparent directory etc.

Folder C:\Test. Result with button Test.ZIP, with hotkey %B0.ZIP.

This is about %B not working in Hotkey shortcut parameter:

In a button or em_command this works fine:

Code: Select all

cmd=cm_PackFiles
Param=/T="%B0.ZIP"

But in a Hotkey shortcut

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
C+W=cm_Packfiles
C+W_params=/T="%B.ZIP"

it does not work - - here %B is literally inserted in the path.
Same thing for cm_UnpackFiles


This works though:

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
C+W=ZIPFROMLIST
C+W_params=-o %B.ZIP %WF

04.06.23 Fixed: Internal commands like cm_PackFiles didn't expand parameters like %N in hotkeys (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.00b6. Thanks!

[petermad]

I can also confirm this fixed in TC 11.00b6

Please also try the new function to use commands with parameters in the command line (above the buttons F5, F6 etc.).
