Total Commander extended Menu - em_ext_explorer

Post by *Matrix »

Hello,

It is possible from a directory within TC, to open up a windows explorer view in the same directory location?

I.e. select any file within a subdirectory or file under the cursor in TC, then apply shortcut key or button to open the same location but in Windows Explorer.

I found this command which can open windows explorer, however, it only opens up in the default standard directory system of windows. It would be handy to open up in the same location which I am located in TC

em_ext_explorer

Appreciate the help.

Just type . (dot) in TC's command line, press Enter and you will open your location in Explorer.
Type .. (two dots), press Enter and you will open up-dir in Explorer.
Stand on a sub-dir, press Ctrl+Enter, then Enter and you will open that sub-dir in Explorer.

Just change:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_explorer]
cmd=explorer.exe
menu=Windows Explorer
button=explorer.exe
to:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_explorer]
cmd=explorer.exe
param="%P"
menu=Windows Explorer
button=explorer.exe

2 petermad and Usher,

Confirm both options work perfectly.
Prefer petermad's option as a direct shortcut key can be implemented.

Many thanks, not taken for granted. Cheers.
