 Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 7:56 am Post subject: Environment variables reference |
 |
|
I have always used Env vars for folder shortcuts, button and menu parameters (mainly for using TC across my work laptop & personal desktop with minimum tweaking), but my problem has always been which env vars are available and their correct syntax. I find myself everytime trying to guess a name or whether a given variable may exist or not.
I know there's always the possibility to browse countless forum postings to try to find one that lists them all, but it would REALLY help to have them:
1. Included in TC's Help system
2. Indexed in the help system, so a simple search for 'environment variables' or just 'variables' would show them as results.
A reference list with internal and Windows (session and system) variables usable from within TC would really help.

|
|
To see the system environment variables
valid for the currently used operating system
open an DOS-Box and type "set<enter>"
To see the TC own environment variables
open an DOS-Box from within TotalCommander.
For example add an new tool bar button
with %comspec% as command. Then enter SET there.
Or use SET as parameter immediately in the button configuration like:
| Code: | TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%comspec%
/k set commander_
%comspec%
-1 |
(Copy this code >>> right click at the TC tool bar >>> Paste)

But then there are the pseudo environment variables - they don't show up with the SET command.

This is of great help. Thanks @petermad. Thanks @Stefan2 for the 1st method too.
Anyway, I believe this info should be included as an entry in TC's help system. It's non obvious, given the current assortment of variables, and syntax is indeed relevant.

Er, doesn't the FS plugin http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/envvar.html do what you need?
