TC9, Autoswitch & Portable - is this possible?

Post by *sirsilver »

So I want the following but cant seem to get it to work:

Folder %Commander_Drive%/Downloads
Upon entering I want the files/dirs sorted by date (reverse). (the rule setting up for this is very simple)
BUT this should NOT count for any other file, folders and also NOT for %Commander_Drive%/Downloads/[subfolder]/[content sorted by name]

I cant get %Commander_Drive% to work nor make a subfolder of Downloads not follow the rule for Download.

Good idea to support variables (which does not work yet)!

To follow the rule on every subfolder just use the rule notation "C:\Downloads\*" (note the * which is added by default)
To NOT follow the rule on subfolders just remove the * ("C:\Downloads\")

You may use this command:

Code: Select all

cd %$PERSONAL%..\Downloads
Working fine in Windows 10 Pro x64.

and what has cd to do with the op's original posting and the fact that you cant use %Commander_Drive% in the new TC9 feature?

I copied and pasted a whole command that I use.

Just discard the "cd".......
