More folder tabs in diretory hotlist

Post by *Sugit »

I often have to copy a file to several other folders, but manually.
So would like to be able to set all those folders in folder tabs, several sets.

Suggestion: in the configuration of the Directory hotlist, allow more than one path, like this:
Command = cd c:\dir1,c:\dir2
Target path = d:\dir3\,d:\dir4\,d:\dir5\

Here I used the comma as delimiter, but that's probably a bad idea, cos it's a valid character in a directory name.

Thanks. And thanks for Total Commander, I'm a user ever since that other Commander.

1. Did you try the OPENTABS command with saved set of your tabs?
2. If your target sub-directories are in the same directory, just select all of them, switch to the source panel and press F5, then select "Options", and "Copy to all...";
3. Try this script.

Well, my proposal would still be nice and clean but:
1. Yes, that's a nice workaround for now.
2. Had not seen that either, thanks!
3. Beautiful. But in my case, too many exceptions.

Thank you Vochomurka.

You could also simply create normal shortcuts to said folders, and put the shortcuts in any given folder...
You could put that folder in your directory hotlist... E.g.
C:\_Temp\
C:\_Temp\Temp1.lnk
C:\_Temp\Temp2.lnk
C:\_Temp\Temp3.lnk

So your directory hotlist has the folder C:\_Temp
And within C:\_Temp you have 3 shortcuts to 3 other folders.

You open C:\_Temp in a given panel, select the links (shortcuts)
You go to the files you want to copy in the other panel, select those files; press F5 to copy.
When the Copy Dialog opens press [Options >>]

Put a check on:
[x] Copy to all Selected Folders/Links in the Target Panel.

Press enter, or click OK.

Copy proceeds to put your files in all those folders, like you wish it to.
