How to show all subfolders only in current directory?

[tuska]

Almost perfect...

Aha, then your requirements have changed(?), because this result does not come with this:

After press the button I see all its subfolders.

extra
nebula
java
sdk

... so I can do those operations without entering depths of lots of subfolders ...

Not only the last subfolder in a path is always displayed, but all subfolders (currently with files).
But maybe I just got something wrong.

(In principle, it's the same solution as in 'Everything') up to here (all subfolders).

But I like the button very much!

Not changed, petermad's solution works as I wanted (except press start button) the only problem switching back to full view manually each time. I don't get your Everything solution. It needs many manual interaction, no TC toolbar button & I want to use TC not Everything tool.

I don't want to persuade you to anything.

Allow me just this hint:
If you use petermad's solution - involving 'Everything' -
then you will get the search results almost in real time.

I'm open to every solution but I couldn't understand yours. How to involve Everything? Also your solution below has many steps without a button.

Enter the following directly in the 'Everything' search box: folder: !depth:0 "c:\Program Files\Main Menu\Test\"
Set sorting "Path" ascending
Mark folders
Press F2 for renaming (menu "File" - "F2 Rename")
Old Format: ...
New Format: ... --> click on the '▶'-button for options, look at 'New Filenames:'-field below... -> Preview
Press button 'OK' for renaming

just for your information to bring in some more ligth:

TCs search can call the Everything.exe since Total Commander 9.0 (2015).
And, an TC Search can be called from an button.

Not sure if that will help in your situation.
I am guessing that tuska wanted to suggest something like that?

If you want to work in Total Commander, I suggest you to use the solution of petermad.

If you want to achieve a serious improvement in terms of speed in getting the search results in TC, here's what I recommend:

• Download the portable version of 'Everything' and unpack the two files into the system drive, e.g. in the path C:\Tools\Everything
• See also Installation Instructions
• After starting 'Everything' set these important options (menu "Tools" -> "Options..." -> "General")
  
• [x] Start Everything on system startup
• [ ] Run as administrator
• [x] Everything Service
• Indexes, NTFS drives -> check settings; set network drives under "Folders"
• Remaining settings according to your likings; see also: settings TC <-> 'Everything'
• It is recommended to read the instructions in the documentation (see: links before mentioned by Stefan, my signature)

If you have made the most important settings mentioned above, you should already have the search results in TC available faster.

Good luck!

I know how to integrate Everything to TC. I don't need faster results. Petermad's solution just what I need but switching to full view each time is burdensome. BTW Thank you very much for your extensive efforts.

But how to make a toolbar button for showing all subfolders (without files) of a folder

wincmd.ini

Code: Select all

[Searches]
Subfolders_only_SearchFor=ed:folder: !depth:0
Subfolders_only_SearchIn=
Subfolders_only_SearchText=
Subfolders_only_SearchFlags=0|007002010021|||||||||0000|||

Not with this button

Code: Select all

cm_SrcViewMode0,em_ClearAllFilter,cm_50Percent,cm_RereadSource|View mode <Standard>: cm_SrcViewMode0|Active panel!|-|em_ClearAllFilter: cmd=cd *.*|Reread Source Ctrl+R; cm_rereadsource 1,2,3 (as of TC 9.50)|https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=72457

Command: cm_SrcViewMode0 sets the view to View Mode <Default>, both for the View Mode and for a Custom columns view!

For the button to work, e.g. the following entries must be made:
usercmd.ini

Code: Select all

[em_ClearAllFilter]
cmd=cd *.*

wincmd.ini
[ViewModes]

Code: Select all

0_name=<Standard>
0_icon=
0_options=1|0|0||-1|-1|-1|-1|-1

I don't know if <Standard> or <default> is correct - for the default-View Mode - when using the language English.
The View mode setting can also be made manually as follows:
Configuration -> Options... -> View mode -> <Standard>, <Vorgabe> or whatever... -> that would be interesting to know...
Columns view: Full, Sort order: Name

[petermad]

I have to switch brief to full view, any solution for it?

No, if I add a command for switching to Full view, then it would be doen immediately after the switch to Brief view.

If you know you always want full view after leaving a search result, it can be done with a View Mode and an Auto Switch Mode:

1. Make a View Mode called: "Search result"
2. in the "Auto-run commands:" field enter:

Code: Select all

|cm_SrcLong

3. Make an Auto Switch Mode for S: Search result and choose that "Search result" at "Set this mode:"

See: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/searchresult1.png and https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/searchresult2.png

Then when you press BackSpace to leave the Search result, Full view should be used.

[em_ClearAllFilter]
cmd=cd *.*

Why not just use cm_SrcAllFiles - it does the same - and without resetting the Custom mask (Ctrl+F12)

cm_SrcViewMode0,em_ClearAllFilter,cm_50Percent,cm_RereadSource

I think that this will do the same witout need for editing wincmd.ini and usercmd.ini:

Code: Select all

cm_SrcLong,cm_SrcAllFiles,cm_50Percent

That was my first thought back then "when I was struggling with the filters"
and I overlooked the fact that there was this command.

Thanks for pointing this out, I have now adapted my button as follows:

Notes

Code: Select all

cm_SrcViewMode0	... Sets the view to View Mode <Default>, both for the View Mode and for a Custom columns view! 
cm_SrcAllFiles	... Show all files -> menu "Show" - "All Files Ctrl+F10"
cm_50Percent	... Window separator at 50%
cm_RereadSource	... Reread source

This button covers many possibilities, but it cannot reset every view variant to <Default>.

2tuska

cm_SrcViewMode0,em_ClearAllFilter,cm_50Percent,cm_RereadSource

I think that this will do the same witout need for editing wincmd.ini and usercmd.ini:

Code: Select all

cm_SrcLong,cm_SrcAllFiles,cm_50Percent

These are too few parameters for me in this case, I had to add cm_RereadSource:

Code: Select all

cm_SrcLong,cm_SrcAllFiles,cm_50Percent,cm_RereadSource

In any case, there are several button solutions to reset the view in this case.

In this case, a button with these parameters is certainly sufficient/recommended, although the command cm_50Percent
would not be needed either. Maybe someday, when you've got deals with View modes, the other button (as preparation?)
probably can't do any harm either.

[tuska]

... I have to switch brief to full view, any solution for it?

A button with this command is also sufficient for this case:

Code: Select all

cm_SrcLong,cm_RereadSource

With the button solutions it only depends on whether you only want to cover this purpose or maybe later also other possibilities.

Thanks lot for switch button. There's just one problem. With your latest search code besides subfolders, main folders also listed. Could you fix it?

[tuska]

With your latest search code besides subfolders, main folders also listed. Could you fix it?

If you have inserted this code in the wincmd.ini as specified above in the [Searches] section then this should not be the case.

Code: Select all

Subfolders_only_SearchFor=ed:folder: !depth:0
Subfolders_only_SearchIn=
Subfolders_only_SearchText=
Subfolders_only_SearchFlags=0|007002010021|||||||||0000|||

Code: Select all

ed:folder: !depth:0 

means the following:

Code: Select all

ed:		Search in TC using 'Everything' parameters, starting from the current directory
folder:		Search for folders only
!		NOT
depth:0		depth:<count> ... Search for files and folders with the specified folder depth.

Please check your entries again.

(A second section [Searches] will hopefully not be in the wincmd.ini by mistake?)
