Features request...

Post by *Jerez »

Thanks again for your very nice program. Here are some requests you might find doable and useful.

1. The ability to open a file with a program other than with the default program. (This feature has been implemented in another ppc program. It works by way of a 'SendTo" subdirectory containing shorcuts of alternate programs.)

2. Sort by size and name works for subdirectories, not only for files.

3. An internal command id number for the serarch command.

Cordially,

JP

Currently this can be done only via toolbar buttons:
- Drag the program to the additional toolbar to add it
- Tap and hold the toolbar button
- Set the parameters field to %P%N

I will put your other requests on my wish list.

%P%N issue in some programs, use instead "%P%N

Post by *Jerez »

Some programs work fine, but some others cannot open files by setting the %p%n parameters only.

Case in point, TextMaker. It somehow gets confused with the file path and with TextMaker path. Clicking TextMaker reports an error. On the other hand, if TextMaker is already open, the file in question opens fine from Total Commander.

However, adding a single double quote in the parameter definition space before %p%n, that is "%p%n, resolves the problem.
