Make command line also an address bar

Post by *basil.cinnamon »

TC needs an address bar like Explorer. The address bar is very useful if one wants to enter a URL, e.g. \\192.168.0.10\Documents to reach that folder on another machine on the LAN, especially if one does not or cannot have a drive letter mapped to that remote folder. If one enters the above string into the command line box, it opens Explorer (!) instead of doing so in a TC panel. The whole point of TC is to bypass Explorer! Make the command line box also behave like an address bar.

Is it so hard to type cd \\192.168.0.10\Documents command instead of just \\192.168.0.10\Documents? Don't think. :wink:
Also you can assign a hotkey for cm_EditPath command to make panel's path editable.

basil.cinnamon,
The current path above the file panel is clickable and does exactly what you want. Although for some reason a single click does not make it editable (why?) and you need to assign cm_EditPath to some hotkey or button.

Enable (1) / disable (0) inplace changing of current path. The default is the value of InplaceRename, if present, otherwise 1.
2: Disable inplace rename of path, but enable quick directory changes with single click (no shift needed)
- You need a second click if the panel is not the active one.
- You should click inside the free area of the path bar.
