Suggestion: Direct DESKTOP button link, shutdown once finish

[FabioLV]

Hi all,
i'd like to see in a future version theese 3 new cool and (IMHO) very useful options:
1) A direct DESKTOP button link since in XP & Vista the Desktop link is neither the same nor a similar link !
2) A "Shutdown After Copy" check in the queue function: often i move a huge amount of files from work to home using external HDD, and i need to launch the job at night; i'd like that someone shuts down my pc once finished, so no more power wasting and hot hard disks !
3) A feature to iconize ALL the background windows, queue job too, like GetRight does !

Thanks to Ghisler !

An happy registered user

1) cm_OpenDesktop
Create a new button on buttonBar, command: cm_OpenDesktop
(Unless you mean something else).

2) Can be done with AHK (AutoHotKey) or similiar, but internal solution could be useful.

3) Not sure what you mean, been far too many years since I used GetRight, win98 days and not since I found Opera. Something like split FindFiles from TC's mainwindow so it would show in the TaskBar?

I have to create as many buttons as the user i use !
Since a Desktop link is something like "C:\Documents and settings\<user>\Desktop, you know it will be hard to configure each button for each user...
The same under vista: c:\User (in italina is "C:\utenti") \..\..\ etc etc....

I obviously suggest an Internal solution ..

In each download getright window, there is another button other then the "iconize" icon, the "Maximize" icon and the "close" icon: there is a "dot" icon wich means "iconize INTO taskbar, in the right lower side of the main bar, near the clock or near the "network" icon !
So, i don't need to flood my standard bar under win xp / VIsta !

That's all !

Just install any software that allows to minimize any window to system tray and enjoy it.

Tha same by me: just use Explorer to copy or move your files...
This 3d's purpose is to SUGGEST, not to find any kind of workaround...
Be constructive, guys...

[Balderstrom]

If you knew how features are added to TC, you'd understand MVV is being constructive. Features that already have multiple workable alternatives are low to never priority. The best ones I know of are Winroll and Iglyph's TrayMenu.
I use both, and they are auto-installed in my SlipStreamed Win2K disk. With traymenu I remove the TMSBar.dll and TMSClock.dll from its program folder and just use the TMSTray.dll.

I'm constructive. This task may be easy realized by window-management tool. There are a lot of tools that allow to minimize any window to tray. So why we need to overload TC's code with this stuff?

P.S. I don't suggest to use Explorer, I just suggest really comfortable and available for now solution.

you probably didn't understand Balderstrom's suggestion. Internal command "cm_OpenDesktop" will bring you to "desktop folder" on each OS and for every user to his own. If you are keyboard oriented \\ <Enter> in cmd-line will do the same job: display desktop folder in current panel

Hi, I successfully created button to directly show desktop, is there a way how to put this button into "Drives panel" ?
I am not using tools panel really and it would be the only button I use, so its waste of space for me. Thz

you could press CTRL+D and add the folder there?

With native TC you can't add buttons to the Drive list.
Using the TwinKey content plugin you can add several em_ commands to the button of the list.
I have the following for example

Code: Select all

[em_twdl_Desktop]
cmd=cm_OpenDesktop

[em_twdl_History]
cmd=cm_DirectoryHistory

Alternativ you can assign an hotkey to cm_OpenDesktop
This way you need no button at all.

Hi guys, thx for very quick reply.
I would prefer clickable option, therefore CTRL+D or assigning hotkey will not quite work for me as desired.
Nevermind, I ended up using another bookmark which I am already using, so Desktop will be locked there instead of one row above between drives.
Thx once again, Z.
