Synchronize directories suggestion

Post by *Galizza »

Hi, sometimes when i press compare button inside synchronize directories window, i noticed that a subdirectory have some files that shouldn't be in that subdirectory and i want to move them to the correct one.

So i must open a new instance of Tc and navigate to this subdirectory, what
i'd like to suggest is a new entry on synchronize context menu that open a new
instance of Tc with the directory of current highlighted file, kind regards.

Why not synchronize the directories in a separate process? em_SyncStandalone:
Command: %COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S=S:
Parameters: %Z%X"%P" "%T"

Thanks for answering :D , but what i'm talking about is being able to open a new instance of Tc on normal mode not synchronize one, that shows the directory of the file that is highlighted on the left panel of synchronize directories window.

Right know i'm using this trick that HolgerK was so kind to told me

https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=426827#p426827

With the help of this trick i can open a new instance of Tc that shows this directory on the left panel.

But it would be better if it's supported by Tc itself on synchronize directories context menu, or implement commands such as

cm_CopySrcPathToClip
cm_CopyTrgPathToClip
cm_CopyFullNamesToClip
cm_CopyNetNamesToClip

inside synchronize directories window, so we can use AutoHotkey to automate this or any other function.

Thanks again & kind regards.

Opening a new instance of TC is too specific for the synchronization window. But the transfer to the object in the current panels would be very useful. Therefore, i talk about a separate synchronization window, so that it would be possible to switch between windows and not create a new instance of TC.

I tried using this Internal association (as the last in the list) together with the AssociationMultiVerbs=1 parameter

Code: Select all

Filter20=*.*
Filter20_open=**
Filter20_New TC instance=%COMMANDER_EXE% /N /P /i="%COMMANDER_INI%" "%1"
and it works fine in the context menu in the ordinary file panels.

But when I in the Synchronization tool opens the context menu (Alt+DownArrow or Shift+Alt+DownArrow), no internal associations turns up in the menu.

So support+++ for making internal associations also turn up in the context menu when invoked from the Synchronization tool.
