Just drag the file FSESTART.EXE from the plugin directory onto TC's buttonbar. See Readme.txt for details (see changelog for ver. 1.11).

EDIT: Damn, a bit too late :-)

Clear both :D

I'm using TC since years and never dragged a .exe to the toolbar.

Is it possible that the "current directory" in TC would be send directly in the "Only in" field ? It would it be a great option. Maybe a command line option ?

Technically I can put in this field current directory, but there can be downfall for user. Very ofthen "real" current directory differs from "TC" current directory (for example: currently panel contains archive content; currently panel points to UNС path or FS-plugin; currently panel contains search result, etc...). It can be very confusing and give unexpected result.

Thank you.
I understand very well.
So my idea was a option in the command line. When I am sure that I want to search in a real directory (rd), I would have the option to put this current directory (from TC panel) directly in the "Only in" field (ie FSEStart.exe /rd).
Of course, this option must be well documented, and used with care.

Maybe this option can be inspired with the actual TC search tool (Alt-F7).
When the panel is in a real directory, this directory appear directly in the "classical" search tool. When the panel is something else, we have to manually erase this field and set a new target for the search.

No, command line switch is not suitable here. But I can add button near "Only in" field to insert current directory in this field. So if current directory doesn't match to user expectation he can change it manually.

First of all, thank you for the plugin. It should be exactly what I'm looking for!

I use it exclusively for a network drive (or directory), no local disc. Searching with Locate32 itself works fine, but when I use the Plugin I have following errors:

I type in my search query and get the (correct) results in TC with a format like
"//ComputerName/Dir/SubDir/filename1.ext"
"//ComputerName/Dir/SubDir/filename2.ext"
"//ComputerName/Dir/SubDir/filename3.ext"
However I can neither execute or copy or do whatever with the file. The only thing I can do is doubleclick and it will jump directly into the according directory.
It would be better if the searched files are directly accessible, like the TC search. Is that possible?

I also noticed that the TC search (not the plugin) result is
"\\ComputerName\Dir\SubDir\filename.ext" (notice the \ in a different direction. )
Maybe that's it?

This plugin give you ability to search and navigate through search result.
readme.txt wrote:Each search result is represented as upper level folder. You can walk through
it, view files in Lister, delete unnecessary files (from result list only).
You can also save/restore search result of time consuming searches.


Backslashes are replaced by slashes in branch-like view only. This doesn't affects plugin's behavior.
