Allow cd command to enter virtual folders in form ::{GUID}

Post by *MVV »

TC can be launched with ::{GUID} as parameter, e.g.:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD.EXE /O /S ::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
or

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD.EXE /O /S /L=::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
(that is undocumented feature)

So why cd command can't be used for entering such folders? Names like ::{GUID} are forbidden for folder names, so TC can easilly detect them and open virtual folder corresponding to specified GUID.

It's just not detected so far on the command line. However, it should already work in the button bar and directory hotlist.

I think that one piece of code that processes cd command would be more compact and readable.
