REQ: Command-line parameter for cm_SyncChangeDir

Post by *wanderer »

When starting TC from command line with two specific paths, it would be nice if there was an additional command-line parameter to enable SyncChangeDir.

Make a view mode and add the cm_SyncChangeDir command into the Auto-run commands.
Add an Auto-view mode setting for one of your 2 dirs and set this view mode.

Why bind to specific folders at startup? It's unnecessary. It's easier to write the command in autorun.cfg: SendCommand 2600

The request is to only start this mode
"When starting TC from command line with two specific paths"
This has nothing to do with general TC start-up.
My suggestion provides this.
Feel free to provide an autorun solution :)

Exactly. When passing the paths through command-line, i'd also like to be able to enable SyncChangeDir mode.

You can do this:

Code: Select all

If  StrPos(AUTORUN_TCCMDLINE, '/L="C:\Path\to\dir"') > 1 _
And StrPos(AUTORUN_TCCMDLINE, '/R="D:\Path\to\dir"') > 1 Then SendCommand 2600

I don't think i can do this. First of all where should i do this and second, i want to pass those parameters from an external program. How would i do what you describe.

Have you ever used the Autorun plugin?
Where you will run your TC instance with this setting doesn't matter.
Only on the command line, you cannot use /i= with another ini file without Autorun installed.

You can make it even easier — look for the presence of a key like /CS:

Code: Select all

If StrPos(AUTORUN_TCCMDLINE, ' /CS') > 1 Then SendCommand 2600

cm_SyncChangeDir using command-line parameters

Post by *wanderer »

I searched a bit in Help and couldn't find anything, so i'm requesting it as a feature.

One can pass the Left and Right folders as command-line parameters when executing TC. Why not also have a command-line switch to turn on cm_SyncChangeDir?

Merged topic cm_SyncChangeDir using command-line parameters.
Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
