FreeCommander Forum

This command line works OK:
freecommander.exe c:\test\test2

This command line does not:
freecommander.exe c:/test/test2

The second command line does open Freecommander in the correct folder, but the tab name name is "test\test2", instead of the correct "test2". Navigation to sub-directories does ...

A typical directory is:

[Network drive:\job folder]\4901-5000\4932

There should only be one 4932, but there could also be 4932_A etc. There is also a second job folder that old jobs are moved to.

In the script, I would enter '4932', and it would open the folder whose names start with that, but ...

Hi! :)
Straight to the questions:
1) Can I make a middle-clicked folder open in the other panel (instead of a new tab in the current one)?
2) Can I go to the parent folder by middle-clicking on an unused area (as it already does when double-clicking it)?

Thanks a lot :)

This is old, but I may be ...

There are about 6000 folders, grouped to 100 per parent folder, all named wiht a 4 digit number. The script I wrode took the 4 digit code, and opend all folders that matched it.

I am looking at differetn ways to enable using a shorthand method for opening specific directories on a shared folder. Previously, I ran a script that called freecommander, which was set to a single instance.

A better way would be to pass a directory directly to the "go to folder" command. I ...

The go up strip works great.

The only thing I can see that needs improvememt, besides the right-pane location, is for it to remember the number of mouse clicks. For instance, if I click it four times quickly, it may only go up three times.

I have looked up the help file, and checked out the forum posts, but I can't find any info about using the Lister .wlx plugins.

What is the general procedure for getting these working with FC?

I tried the double click option, and it works OK in most cases, except for when there is a full list of folders and files, and then I only open them.

I would still like this option, as it would mean a quick reflex option for goin up a directory, rather that hunting for a small icon or text, or ...

I quite regularly copy a file to the same directory. In most cases, I rename the file to something other than the standard "copy of...", and mostly it is something that can not be chosen as a default.

I would like to see the option where if one did a copy/paste in the same directory, the newly ...

Just as a small additoin to this post:
I prefer to not use the buttons on the splitter, and like the swap panel button where it is, but I would also like the option to have a "Same Folder" button on both panels.

What I was referring to was the standard Windows context menus, called "Shell Menu" in FC settings. This allows for a folder to be opened in either the current or new instance, in the left/right/active/inactive pane.

I would like to expand these options, to allow for either the Left or Right pane ...

I too didn't reasise that a double click on a white-space can be used to go up a directory. I will start using it, and see how it goes.

It would auso be useful to have folder sizes, and be able to append to a file.
Also, a recuirsive option with multiple depths would also be good, all going to the same file.

eg, For C:\mainFol, recursive directories set to 1
first does C:\MainFol
Then C:\MainFol\Dir1
Then c:\Mainfol\Dir2
......
If ...

Just installed verstion 2007.10. Some nice changes.
I previously made my own custom context-menus to open folders in FC, as it can be very useful. These are the features I would like to see:
-Two context menu items - one for Right, and one for Left panel.
-Option to open folders in new tabs, to ...

I used to use Directory Opus or the Amiga, and one of the nice features was a long bar either side of the file area that took you to the parent directory. This made directory navigation a lot faster.
It would only need to be a few pixels wide, but would need to be on the extreen edge of the screen ...
