by JOUBE
Suggestion:
Next to the environment variables
COMMANDER_DRIVE
COMMANDER_EXE
COMMANDER_INI
COMMANDER_INSTANCE
COMMANDER_PATH
still missing (more and more):
COMMANDER_INI_PATH
Please implement it in TC11

While i'm not against this request, note that has been discussed and
works for most cases.

I know it. And in wincmd.ini you can use relative path (e.g. RedirectSection=xyz.ini), but I could like it for batches at the customer side. *)

That produces the following variable content
COMMANDER_INI_PATH=C:\Tools\Wincmd\wincmd.ini\..\

And what?
Now you just have %commander_ini_path% desired variable, refer to it, and otherwise use it as you want.
Check
dir %commander_ini_path%,
echo 'Hi'>%commander_ini_path%\test.txt commands for instance, and so on.

Sorry, this is nonsense.
There is no benefit to get this result
which its the same as using %COMMANDER_INI%\..\
from any tool or batch started from TC.

There is nothing to discuss if user making such a suggestion is not satisfied with the existing workarounds.
So without much enthusiasm as I don't need it but I support it

If you aren't this happy to seeing the dot-slash part there there're also other ways, e.g.:
autorun.cfg:
Code: Select all
SetEnv /EV COMMANDER_INI_PATH %"StrLeft(%COMMANDER_INI%, StrLen(%COMMANDER_INI%) - 11)"
It will bring you a clear value (
COMMANDER_INI_PATH=C:\Tools\Wincmd respecting your specific example).

I would be glad to support it too, but my similar suggestion just had been ignored (
viewtopic.php?t=77608).
So I've simply ended up living used to the workarounds

Unfortunately, the display of the blue ticks in the directory hotlist does not work if \..\ is included in the path.
It would be good if that is added ("realpath").
Apart from that, it would of course be easier for paths pointing into the tc configuration if the variable COMMANDER_INI_PATH was present (instead use of %COMMANDER_INI%\..\)

I didn't want to bring up the topic earlier, but since the need arose, I should still point out the
beb error. The correct command is:
Code: Select all
SetEnv COMMANDER_INI_PATH %'StrLeft(COMMANDER_INI, StrPos(COMMANDER_INI, "\", -1) - 1)'

not have a %COMMANDER_INI_PATH% variable
Controversial question, _
PATH or _
PARENT?
C:\totalcmd\wincmd.ini — isn't that the file
path?

No, c:\totalcmd\ is the file
path and
C:\totalcmd\wincmd.ini is the filepath+name.

folder path = the path to the directory
file path = the path to the file
No? See .vbs:
Code: Select all
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
With .GetFile("C:\WINDOWS\System32\find.exe")
MsgBox .Path ' file path
MsgBox .ShortPath ' short file path
MsgBox .ParentFolder.Path ' parent folder path
End With
' BuildPath method get full name:
MsgBox .BuildPath("C:\Folder", "FileName.ext")
End With
' Path property get full name:
MsgBox CreateObject("Shell.Application").NameSpace(0).ParseName("Totalcmd.exe.lnk").GetLink.Path
Behaviour of the CD command

I understand %COMMANDER_INI_PATH% as the path to the folder where all TC's ini files are located (wincmd.ini, wcx_ftp.ini contplug.ini fsplugin.ini pkplugin.ini fsplugin.ini usercmd.ini etc.). the file path to C:\totalcmd\wincmd.ini we already have as %COMMANDER_INI%
