More special parameters

[now]

It would be useful if one could get the selected files in the target panel as special parameters as well. One way of easily doing this would be to add a modifier to the special parameters that already exist, for example, %tS to get the selected files in the target panel.

The reason I’d like this is that sometimes you want to copy the same set of files to a bunch of folders.

The idea is that I select a set of folders in the target panel, then select some files in the source panel. Then I run an em_* user-command that executes a VBScript that gets two special parameters %L and (the imaginary) %tL. Then it simply goes over the files in the first list file and copies them over to each of the folders in the second list file.

(Actually, it’s not me that wants to do this, but a colleague.)

So, to sum up, can we get a modifier to special parameters that instead of using the source panel does the same but for the target panel?

Thanks!

The Unified Parameters System looks a little bit more attractive to me.

Hm, yes, I agree. That would be very nice for 7.5.
