FreeCommander Forum

Hello,

I'm trying to get a DOS box icon into the action toolbar so I can have one nice row of tool buttons. First of all, I don't see it as an action option anymore (coming from FC2009). Does someone know how to get it listed there?

Second, I was able to put it into the favorites tool bar with a custom command to run cmd.exe. However, that toolbar doesn't seem to work on the same row as the action toolbar, which makes me have to waste a whole row on that one button. Anyone know how to get custom tool added or get a favorite into the action TB?

Any other ideas?

BTW, I'd also be interested in getting Connect and disconnect network drive buttons working, as in 2009, as well, if anyone has a trick.

Thanks!
Jason

(PS, using FC XE 64 bit on win7)

Thanks for the try. Unfortunately, the "tools" section doesn't show up in my toolbar setup screen:
Here's my version--FC XE 2014 Build 670 (x64) donor

That's very strange, indeed!
Try downloading the latest version (build 671 x64 portable), launch it with the default settings and check again the "Tools->Customize toolbars..." menu.

I don't understand your screenshot!
You're writing that the "tools" section doesn't show up in your toolbar setup screen.
But on your screenshot there is a "tools" entry, but the "adress" entry is highlighted.
The "Tools" entry is not there in standard configuration! (look at the screenshot from Joby_toss)

Maybe this entry is from an old freecommander.ini (FC2009) which is not compatible with FCXE.
But you can make a new toolbar with another name and configurate this with the dosbox.

671 seems to do it. I loaded with default settings first, and tools were then available in the action toolbar config. Then I copied my original settings back, and they were still available. Now I'm all set. Thanks!

The tools entry on the left was my attempt to do what you suggested below--make my own toolbar with a dos prompt tool. But in Joby_toss's shot, there's a "Tools" section on the right side that includes all the std tools: Dos box, connect network drive, run dialog, etc. That section was missing in my install, for some reason. I upgraded to build 671, and now it's fine.

Anyway, thanks for all the help! And thanks, Marek, for a great tool.
