How to start a file container
How to start a file container
I have a favorite toolbar entry which calls a script to make an Everything search tool query.
It stores the result in an FC file container named everything.fcc
I can double click this entry in FC to open the container
but I want to open that specific container with a favorite button or an hotkey.
Btw. Everything search is the fastest way to search for files or contents in Windows.
Its fully integrated into Total Commander and by a script in XYplorer.
My FC script makes this available in FC to.

Re: How to start a file container
Thanks, one more suggestion for this.
If FC is started with a command line which has the path to a file container as parameter
it should open this file container.
That would allow my script to open the file container automatically after finishing the Everything query.

Yes, already changed too.If FC is started with a command line which has the path to a file container as parameter

Re: How to start a file container
I tested it but unfortunately it doesn't work from a command line
if used together with the argument /C to run in the current instance.
Without the /c it works but then I get a new instance and my batch script can't terminate which is not what I want.

Re: How to start a file container
It seems to work for me.
Could you describe how you use this?
Show your command line too.

Re: How to start a file container
I run a cmd script from a Favorite button which creates a container file and starts FC with this line
C:\Tools\FreeCommander\FreeCommander.exe /c everything.fcc
The working dir of the script is the one where the fcc file is.
If I omit the /c it works but starts a new FC instance of course.
Also I can start the fcc file just fine with a favorite button.
So the file is ok but FC refuses to open it when /c is used on the command line.
Edit
I found the reason and the solution:
I must use a fuil pathname for the fcc file and it works.
Question is, why does it need the full path only when /c is used ?
