Looking for a tool like Fastfolders

Post by *tony01 »

Hi Everybody:

I am looking for a tool like Fastfolders but compatible with Total Commander, Fastfolders site is here:
http://www.desksoft.com/FastFolders.htm

This is a very nice tool that gives you quick and easy access to
folder contents and files. Without opening each and every folder,
you can browse the directory structure starting at any point by
clicking the right mouse button on a file, folder or drive.

The problems is it works with Microsoft windows explorer.

Any ideas?


Thanks.

I just had a 10 seconds look at the site and sorry if I missed some of its features, but this may be easily created inside TC by using Directory Hotlist and a plugin like DireSizeCalc.
TC for Linux please!

The problem with Favmenu2 is I have build manually the folder and subfolders to navigate inside of them.

With fastfolders everythjing is automatically, you can navigate in each folder and its subfolders then you can select a folder and go to that folder.

No really a solution.

Any other ideas.

Hm, I did a quick try with that tool and the FastFolders menu entry is also shown in TCs context menu. Sure any folder you open through FastFolders is opened by explorer anyway, but I tried my TC shortcut in windows' 'send to'-menu, and it works. So you can right click a folder in FFs menu and then choose send to -> Total commander. A little hassle though, but maybe it suffices for you...

If you try this, you should add '/O' as a parameter to re-use the already open TC instance.

You maybe could grab this AutoHotkey script and adapt it to your needs:

Well, this was the reason why I said adapt the script to your needs ;-)

Code: Select all

godir:
if A_ThisMenu = DirMenu
;      run %rootdir%
		Run "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Totalcmd.exe" /O /T "%rootdir%"
   else
;      run %rootdir%\%A_ThisMenu%
		Run "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Totalcmd.exe" /O /T "%rootdir%\%A_ThisMenu%"
return
