How to Hop to Explorer in same folder as TC is sitting

Post by *johnstonf »

Is there a more elegant way to Hop to Explorer in same
folder as TC is sitting.

Right now, in TC I do a Commands> RunDOS. This
leave me in the correct folder.

Then I type "explorer ." (note the "dot") and this runs
the Explorer in that directory.

I'd like to be able to just go Commands> RunExplorer
instead of Commands> RunDOS.

Is there a way to do this, or am I stuck with my way?

Thanks, Fred.

How about just typing "." on the command line and pressing Enter?

To be exact, right mouse click to empty space in the TC window. (if you touch a file with the mouse cursor, the context menu doesn't contain explorer)

It's sometimes difficult to find empty space in a file panel. Right-clicking on the current path will do the job.

Narrow place---

:) Hello !
• That works fine with the right-click.
- I click just between the last file-row and the status-bar;
it's a bit narrow, but I didn't find a better place when the file-list is long…
:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

RightClick

Post by *johnstonf »

When I RightClick on the empty space, I don't get any
context pop-up (any ideas why?).

But... it DOES work for me if I RightClick on the
current path, and then choose Explore (and that
is a nice consistent place to do it from too!).

You have click the right mouse button on the empty space and not release it until the menu appears.
But... it DOES work for me if I RightClick on the
current path, and then choose Explore (and that
is a nice consistent place to do it from too!).
The title bar has two right mouse button functions. A right-click (mouse push and release) will bring up the explorer menu. If you click the right mouse button here and release it you'll get the directory history menu.

:) Hi !
• Right, it works on the file-list header…

:P … and also on the drive-buttons !
… and also on the "F8" button (but you get only "My Computer", not the current dir. …)

:roll: Finally, a good trick to get a third window (the issue that angers :twisted: !)

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude (one year older today…)
