Quickly selecting file just copied in target panel

Post by *9kvD38n6 »

Hi.

Say, I want to extract an .ico file from a zip file into a folder containing 1000+ items. Then I want to put the newly extracted file's path on the clipboard. What I do currently, after copying / extracting the file, is press tab, type the beginning of the file's name into quicksearch, then select the file - rather laborious.

Is there any quicker way to jump to a new file in the target panel?

Thanks.

Phil

I think you may copy filenames from source (archive) panel and load selection from clipboard after switching to target panel. Not so hard I think, just try it. :wink:

0. Execute cm_RestoreSelection (no 529) - restore selection after unpacking
1. Execute cm_CopyNamesToClip (no 2017)
2. Switch to target panel
3. Execute cm_LoadSelectionFromClip (no 2033)

If you assign shortcuts for both operations (1st and 3rd), you will need to press Num /, first shortcut, Tab and second shortcut. Also I think simple script may be helpful that will execute theese commands.

E.g. this may be done using my TCFS2 addon:

Code: Select all

TCFS2.exe /ef "tcm(529) tcm(2017) msg($100, $09, $01000001, 1) msg($101, $09, $01000001, 1) delay(100) tcm(2033)"
Note that it will rewrite contents of your clipboard.
