Create symbolic link (MKLINK /D)

[petermad]

Also these user-commands don't support Unicode names.

That can be solved by using codepage 65001:

Code: Select all

[em_junction]
cmd=*%COMSPEC% /C
param=@chcp 65001 && %%COMSPEC%% /C @for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%i in (`type %WF`) do @( if exist "%P%%~i\" ( mklink /J "%T%%~i" "%P%%~i" ) else ( mklink "%T%%~i" "%P%%~i" ) )
menu=Make directory junction or file symlink in the opposite panel for selected files
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65
iconic=1

Here is an updated version that supports unicode, and a large amount of input files:

Code: Select all

[em_cpJunction]
cmd=*%COMSPEC% /S /C
param=? ""%%APPDATA%%\GHISLER\usercmd-cplnk.bat" "%UF" "%P" "%T" /J"
menu=Make directory junction or file symlink in the opposite panel for selected files
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65
iconic=1
[em_cpSymlink]
cmd=*%COMSPEC% /S /C
param=? ""%%APPDATA%%\GHISLER\usercmd-cplnk.bat" "%UF" "%P" "%T" /D"
menu=Make directory or file symlink in the opposite panel for selected files
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65
iconic=1
[em_cpHardJunction]
cmd=*%COMSPEC% /S /C
param=? ""%%APPDATA%%\GHISLER\usercmd-cplnk.bat" "%UF" "%P" "%T" /J /H"
menu=Make directory junction or file hardlink in the opposite panel for selected files
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65
iconic=1
[em_cpHardSymlink]
cmd=*%COMSPEC% /S /C
param=? ""%%APPDATA%%\GHISLER\usercmd-cplnk.bat" "%UF" "%P" "%T" /D /H"
menu=Make directory symlink or file hardlink in the opposite panel for selected files
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65
iconic=1
[em_cpJunctionClear]
cmd=em_cpJunction,cm_ClearAll
menu=Make directory junction or file symlink in the opposite panel for selected files, clears selection
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65
iconic=1
[em_cpSymlinkClear]
cmd=em_cpSymlink,cm_ClearAll
menu=Make directory or file symlink in the opposite panel for selected files, clears selection
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65
iconic=1
[em_cpHardJunctionClear]
cmd=em_cpHardJunction,cm_ClearAll
menu=Make directory junction or file hardlink in the opposite panel for selected files, clears selection
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65
iconic=1
[em_cpHardSymlinkClear]
cmd=em_cpHardSymlink,cm_ClearAll
menu=Make directory symlink or file hardlink in the opposite panel for selected files, clears selection
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICON2.DLL,65

Batch script to put into the "%APPDATA%\GHISLER\usercmd-cplnk.bat" path:

Code: Select all

:: CpLnk <listfile:utf8-bom> <srcdir> <tgtdir> <dirswitch> [fileswitch]
@echo off
chcp 65001 > nul
set "rmvBom=^|((pause^&pause^&pause^)^>nul^&findstr x*^)"
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('type "%~1" %rmvBom%') do ( if exist "%~2%%~i\" ( mklink %4  "%~3%%~i" "%~2%%~i" ) else ( mklink %5  "%~3%%~i" "%~2%%~i" ) )
