are there sort of rules/total to perform operations/actions?

[giulia]

Hi

are there soft of rules in TC to perform actions ?
for example copy or move files with a .m4a extension in a folder called AAC

I guess there are such actions in other software like multi commander or xyplorer , at least a friend of mine ( he does use these softwares) use some commend to perform the same operation / actions , just like saved actions to run

well , i really love TC , is there a way to do with it?

thanks

TC provide you with parameters, like one for selected file(s) and another for the current path of the target panel.
You can use a scripting language of your OS (PowerShell, VBS, Batch, JavaScript or utilize AutoHotkey.

That way you can create your own commands and execute them from a button or with a keyboard shortcut.


The forum is full of examples, or see my signature.


Maybe provide a real scenario and you will get probably many solutions. . . .

For a lot of tasks you don't even have to use external scripts like AHK, you can just combine TC's internal and user defined commands. The example you give with copying .m4a file can be automated in this way.

In order to help you with the task I would need to know if those .m4a files are just in the current directory, in the current directory and it's subdirectories, on the entire current hard disk or on all the hard disks in the system. I would also need to know whether the AAC directory is a fixed directory, or whether i should for example be created in the current directory of either the source panel or the target panel in TC?

You can probably do it by combining multiple internal actions - that is why I asked this:
