How to user COMMANDER_PATH in user command?

[valuex]

I've set a user command in user.ini like this.

Code: Select all

[em_savealltabs]
button=wcmicons.dll,10
cmd=SAVETABS2
param=%COMMANDER_PATH%\SAVETABS2.tab

But everytime I run it by clicking the buttion added in toolbar,the output file name is not the expected value SAVETABS2.tab, but looks like below.

Code: Select all

User.iniOMMANDER_PATHSAVETABS2.tab
User.iniOMMANDER_PATHSAVETABS2.tabOMMANDER_PATHSAVETABS2.tab
User.iniOMMANDER_PATHSAVETABS2.tabOMMANDER_PATHSAVETABS2.tabOMMANDER_PATHSAVETABS2.tab

There are two problems here:
1. It seems that %COMMANDER_PATH% in user.ini is not interperated and coverted to the absolute path correctly.
2. If the file *.tab exists, the newly created file will have a different name while not overwrite it.
Could you help to share your idea on how to fix it? Thanks.

Percent signs of environment variables must be doubled in the Parameters field. That's because of several placeholders like %C, %P, %N and so on that can be used there. Percent signs must not be doubled in the Command field though. In TC 11 you can also use %|env_var| instead.
