A couple of feature requests: FTP and duplicated buttons

[Albegor]

Hi TC users,

I was going to post a couple of feature requests for the next version of TC, when I found one has already been posted:
FTP Transfer in Background Keyboard Hotkey

The other one is about the button bar: IMO it would be useful if the cm_GotoPreviousDir and cm_GotoNextDir commands could be duplicated for both the directory listings.
This could be useful also for other buttons to quickly access some of the most used functions.

Thanks to Christian Ghisler for such an excellent software and keep up the good work!

Have you tried the : cm_SyncChangeDir command ?

[Albegor]

Have you tried the : cm_SyncChangeDir command ?

That's not what I meant since SyncChangeDir "mirrors" the changes made to a dir listing to the other one, while I proposed a back or forward command button that could act independently on one of the two dir listings.

Thanks anyway.

What you want can be easily be done with TCSript Editor:

GoBothToPrevious.tcs

Code: Select all

#include VKeys.h
postCmd(cm_GotoPreviousDir);// for current panel
SendVkey(VK_TAB,2);//switch panel
postCmd(cm_GotoPreviousDir);//for the other panel
SendVkey(VK_TAB,2);//switch panel

GoBothToNextDir.tcs

Code: Select all

#include VKeys.h
postCmd(cm_GotoNextDir);// for current panel
SendVkey(VK_TAB,2);//switch panel
postCmd(cm_GotoNextDir);//for the other panel
SendVkey(VK_TAB,2);//switch panel

I have to learn more about the TCSript Editor, but that's very interesting, thanks!
However that script seems to act on both the dir listings, while I need one which can act on panel 1 and another one on panel 2 so that I can assign them to two different back (or forward) buttons.
Can the "postCmd(cm_GotoNextDir)" act on a specific panel or only on the currently active one?

2Albegor:

you can insert the commands 'cm_focusleft' and 'cm_focusright' to set the focus to the desired file panel before changing the directory. Add this to your TC Script:
left:

Code: Select all

postCmd(cm_focusleft); // activate left panel
postCmd(cm_GotoPreviousDir); // go back

right:

Code: Select all

postCmd(cm_focusright); // activate right panel
postCmd(cm_GotoPreviousDir); // go back

Using TC Script is quite easy, so you can acheive your goal within a few minues, i guess.

I made the scripts this way because :

it would be useful if the cm_GotoPreviousDir and cm_GotoNextDir commands could be duplicated for both the directory listings.

So I made the same change (cm_GotoPreviousDir or cm_GotoNextDir) in both panel without knowing wich one was activate but I returned to the activate one at the end, that's why there is 2 command : "SendVkey(VK_TAB,2);//switch panel "

Albegor is right for activate the "good" panel but I rarely need it...

Thank you all for your prompt reply... need to learn more about TC Script as soon as I find the time. It seems very powerful!
