Hi and welcome crashdiet.


Me think a possible way is to call TC a second time and tell him to set the path in Source Panel to the wanted one.

totalcmd.exe [/o] [/n] [Drive1:\Directory1 [Drive2:\Directory2]] [/i=name.ini] [/f=ftpname.ini]
totalcmd.exe /O /S /L="path"

/O ==> If Total Commander is already running, activate it and pass ...
See Help > Configuration and Switches > Command line parameters





You can still execute that all from a button...

Command: cmd /c
Parameters: MD "PREVIEW" && %%Commander_Exe%% /O /S /L="%PPREVIEW"
Start path:
Icon: cmd
Tooltip: MD and CD



Note that MD-command use the path from current active panel as CWD,
but the "/L=" command line parameter seams to need a full path (click [Help] in button dialog to read about "%P")
Or I did it wrong.

%Commander_Exe% is a system variable set by running TC and available inside of TC.



HTH?

Entering "cmd /k mkdir PREVIEW & cd PREVIEW" in TC command-line works for me.

But that wouldn't control TC panel locations. Follow Stefan2's advice above for changing TC panel locations.

I don't know but can't undestand why command CD doesn't work. For example I made manually folder PREVIEW. Than I put in command line

cmd /c cd PREVIEW, cmd cd PREVIEW etc.... tryied different lines - not works(

..... and, no any enter in folder. What's wrong? May be I have bad TC?

cmd /c cd PREVIEW, cmd cd PREVIEW etc....
Your CD is a DOS-command from the cmd.exe and works in a DOS-Box (cmd, command line window)
It's not a command for TC in that circumstances you use it.


TC has it own CD command, but that doesn't work the way you wanted to use it.
Try <cd PREVIEW> in TCs command line window or as Commando in a button.

To use a 'CD'-like commando for TC from a DOS-Box, use TCs commandline parameter.
