FreeCommander and Cmder (DOS Box)

Hi,

I'd like to use the excellent Cmder (http://bliker.github.io/cmder/) as my DOS box.
So, I configured in the settings (Settings -> DOS prompt specification) the link to my executable: (D:\MySoftware\cmder\cmder.exe)

The problem is that I'd like to pass current directory as the command line parameter, to start on the current selected directory. How can I achieve that?
Currently, cmder is started, but with the "User" (C:\Users\MyUser) directory.

Thank you.

cmder ignores the current directory for shell process and want the sturtup directory as parameter.
In the next release you can define the DOS-Prompt as:
D:\MySoftware\cmder\cmder.exe "%ActivDir%"

While opening the DOS commandline within FC-EX 0.777 the following configuration:
X:\...\cmder\Cmder.exe %ActivDir% or X:\...\cmder\Cmder.exe "%ActivDir%" does not work anymore
--> cmder.exe (version 1.3.6.678) shows: X:\Users\Username and not the current active directory.

Is there an issue at cmder.exe or is there a fix required for the most recent FreeCommander?

Tested with the version 1.3.4 of the Cmder and it works fine.
