Total Commander

It is sometimes NOT wanted that TC automatically sets quotation marks around file and paths when using parameters like %P%N, %P%S and %Cn - espically when you want to test the parameters using DOS.

I would like to suggest two new parameters %y and %Y that should work a little like %x and %X, but %Y should mean that AFTER this point don't set any quotation marks, and %y should mean set quotation marks as usual after this point.

I would request third mode: always quote, I know that it will be useful. And I would name it %Q<x>, where <x> is mode (letter or number, no matter, e.g. %Q to reset, %QA to always quote and %QN to don't quote).

You can to a certain degree do an Aways Quote with my suggestion - just use %Y and then put the Quotes yo want yourself - like %Y "%P%N" "%C1".

But I can see the benifit of your request for lists like %L %F %UL and %WL so that for example &QA "%L" means that all items in the list should be surrounded by quotes. Also for %S an alway quote function could be usefull.

Yes, it is mainly for multi-file selections, not for single files.

I agree, Button Parameter "%Q" (Posted: 07/25/2010)


Although, I would say that I would find it more useful (today) if TC could pass lists of files|folders|paths with an alternate delimiter -- instead of space. I would set the delimiter to \r\n. One might also choose to set it to any one of the obvious illegal characters under windows

• *"<>|

Of which, any of the alternate delimiters would be very easy to parse with a pre-processor|handler.

Implemented as %Q in TC 10.51rc 1
