1. I've done some test and seems, that search inside the specific parent folder does not work. Say, when I mark in my user command (in usercmd.ini) the following key:
path=D:\!!!work
XCD does not search inside the folder !!!work only, but it searches for the whole D: partition. Well, I am able to imagine, what could be the reason of such behavior. However ss much as I could understand from the short English manual included in the ZIP-archive http://matbal.drivehq.com/xcd_eng.zip, it should be possible search under some parent folder as a search location. Well, it is not stated very clearly in the manual, so I doubt, what the author could actually mean.
However at least for excluding certain directories it is stated very clearly, so I suppose, that the same could work for the parent directory as a search zone.
2. Is it possible to set multiple logical partitions, eg E: and H: as a search location?
One possible solution could be to exclude all other disks besides E: and H: However the problem is, that one can exclude partitions only in XCD configuration file "%AppData%\Roaming\xcd\xcd.ini", which is the common for all user commands.
But I wish to create some different user commands to search folders on different partitions, say, one user command for C: and D: disks, another one for E: and H: and so on...
Thanks in advance!

xcd . suchbegriff
Mit dem Punkt als 1. Parameter startet die Suche vom laufenden TC Pfad.
Nichts anderes wird im Help wie folgt versprochen:
xcd <target_directory> Search for target_directory in all possible paths. Total Commander changes to the directory you select from the results.
xcd Brings up the last search results.
xcd \ <target_directory> Search for target_directory only on the current drive. ("\" stands for root of the current drive)
xcd . <target_directory> Search for target_directory in the current directory and below. ("." stands for the current path)
xcd c:<target_directory; Search for target_directory only on drive C:

Does it mean, that a search for the <target_directory> below the specific directory only (if it is NOT the current one) is not possible at all?
And search only on the multiple specific partitions, say, E: and H: not possible too?
Thanks.xcd . <target_directory> Search for target_directory in the current directory and below. ("." stands for the current path)

Answer is yes and yes.oshizelly wrote:2Horst.EppThanks.xcd . <target_directory> Search for target_directory in the current directory and below. ("." stands for the current path)

Its much easier to use Everything as Search engine.
It can be configured to use TC for the targets find.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but let's try what I suppose:oshizelly wrote:Does it mean, that a search for the <target_directory> below the specific directory only (if it is NOT the current one) is not possible at all?...
a) current dir is "c:\temp"
b) You have "c:\data\numbers\A" and "c:\data\numbers\B", and in A and B you have 50 folders, from 1 - 50
c) You need "42" in folder "B".
d) "xcd 42" would bring you "c:\data\numbers\A\42" and "c:\data\numbers\B\42", but you don't like the result
Maybe "F3" can help:
e) Search "xcd B"
f) you get "B" and its folders 1-50 (and maybe other folders with "B")
g-1) You could select "42" manually.
or
g-2) Select the folder you want to search.
h-2) Press F3 - you will see only the subfolders of your selected folder (if "c:\data\numbers\B" is the only result in your list there will be no difference)
i-2) Start a new search, typing "42" in the search-field.
j-2) You will get "42" as subfolder of "c:\data\numbers\B"
Maybe you could play around, defining different INIs with different excluded drives, but that's maybe not a (good) solution.oshizelly wrote:...And search only on the multiple specific partitions, say, E: and H: not possible too?
You should use it step by step, switching the drives:
a) "xcd d:test" - brings all "test" on d:\
b) press "h" (not! in the search field) - you will get all "test" on "h:"
Maybe this could help.

Thank you very much for detailed explanation, the thing has become now much clearer for me.
But it seems, that it is not possible at all, because XCD (in contrast to. say. Total Commander itself) necessarily stores its configuration file xcd.ini in the current user's profile folder %AppData%\XCD (for Wndows 7). Thus you can install as many XCD copies, as you wish, but every of them will use the same single configuration file. Am I wrong?

I had had a similar idea, that is to install multiple copies of XCD on different logical partitions, each of them with its own configuration.Maybe you could play around, defining different INIs with different excluded drives, but that's maybe not a (good) solution.
