Jump to directory by clicking on it in the pathbar...

Thanks Lefteous, that's great. The other guys are right, I can't edit in place anymore with a mouse-click, but I didn't use that feature that much anyway. But it should probably be an option for those that do use it.

By the way, SanskritFritz, your face in your avatar is pretty dramatic. One of these days, I'm going to be reading these posts too much and get nightmares!

Request from either Clo or SanskitFrtiz,

I like to lrearn your trick. For ordinary person, it is difficult to comprehend what you are talking about here. Please be kind to mentin how to create a button for CM_CopyFullNamesToClip. I use this operation almost everyday so I wish to learn how to do it in more plain language and step by step.

Clo, what does I.C. stands for?

Please be kind to mentin how to create a button for CM_CopyFullNamesToClip.

I'm neither SanskritFritz nor Clo but hope you'll neverthless take my advice:

1. Just rightclick to the buttonbar where there is no button and it will appear a context menu "change.."
2. Click it and you get the "change button bar" menu.
3. Press the "Append" button and a new entry is created.
4. Type into the "Command"-field 'cm_copyfullnamestoclip' (you may only type 'cm_copyf' and then press [down] -and it will be completed automatically. This works for all internal commands. Or better for the first one that fits the typed letters.)
5. You may leave the "Parameters" and "Start Path" fields empty but browse to an icon you like in the "Icon file" field.

6. You can assign a tooltip text to this buttonat the "tooltip" field
7. At last you can move the new button to the desired position (in the button-bar) by drag & drop.

Then press okay and thats all.

Now each time you press this new button the filename under the cursor or the list of the selected filenames is copied to the Clipboard.

If there still is a question feel free to ask again.

I.C. is the abbrevation for Internal Commands - You can see all of them by viewing the totalcmd.inc file in the TC directory.

Hi Shipdog,

Thanks for your post. I made it. The icon is working well for the function. The new icon/toolbar would allow me to save a lot of time. I have a related question for you. How to add new icons for TC? The icons avialble were very limited in the icon field (in fact, all of them were being used for other functions already). I need a new icon. Again, you are another Guru! Cobras

If I understand you right you want to change the icon for a button?

You have simply to declare another file that contains an icon, e.g. *.icl, *.dll, *.exe, *.ico. The location of this file you have to insert into the "icon file" field for the button (to get this field you may rightclick again on the button and choose 'change' in the context menu or choose in the main menu "configuration->change Button Bar")

Search your system for "shell32.dll" (use the new button and the path with [Ctrl]+[Ins]) . That should be a start for some new icons (it is one of the windows inbuilt icon-libraries). You can find a lot of other icons here.

If you want to change the icons for the drivebuttons or the icons displayed in the filewindows you may use the forums search for detailed instructions.


Please be a bit more careful quoting members names - in doubt copy and paste it. Me and some other members are a bit particular with our names.

They aren't pretty, but perhaps you'll like to use them anyway.

I wish to create buttons for "\My Documents" and "\Program Files\, which I use a lot. Could someone tell me what I should type in "Command-field"? TIA. Cobras

1. create a button with command: cd %$Personal%
2. create a button with command: cd %PROGRAMFILES%

[franck8244]

2Cobras
Try cd %var%
where %var% is one from this list :
%$APPDATA%, %$DESKTOP%, %$PERSONAL% (My Documents), %$PROGRAMS%, %$STARTMENU%, %$FONTS%, %$STARTUP% (use lowercase to access env vars with these names)

you can also use "true" environnement variables. (%TMP%, %PATH%,etc...)

[Cobras]

Thanks a lot.
It worked pefrect. These two buttons save me a lot of my time.
Thank you again. Cobras

Thanks for the icons, I still used http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=51993#51993 (vicons2_buttonbar.icl nb 73) for cm_CopyFullNamesToClip because I am used to it but I adopted yours for cm_CopyNamesToClip and cm_CopySrcPathToClip

I find that button bars on TC are extremely handy.
I wish to have another bar for "Add or Remove Programs".
Could somone kindly suggest a command line for Command-field?
I hope you don't mind about this request. Thanks. Cobras

I wish to have another bar for "Add or Remove Programs".

%WINDIR%\system32\appwiz.cpl for Win XP or 2k
