Question-Wish about creating folders

[wanderer]

Example:

I'm in the left TC panel, on a certain folder. I press F7. I see the create dir dialogue which is filled with the folder name i'm on. That's great but ATM, if i wish to create a folder with the same (or very similar name) in the other panel, i have to copy the folder name, close the dialogue, press TAB, press F7, paste the name, process it and then press Enter to create the folder. Is there a (built in TC - no plugins pls) way to do this automatically (or a plan to implement such a thing)? I tried SHIFT+F7, just in case, but no luck...

TIA

Please, take a look to: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=121261

And support it

Assign Shift+F7 to this user-defined command:

Code: Select all

Command: %comspec% /c md
Parameter: ?"%T%O.%E"

Or, use AHK:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
+F7::SendInput, {F7}^c{ESC}{Tab}{F7}^v

Very usefully!
I think, it can be included into new version of TC with Shift+F7 shortcut, by default.
Personal, I prefer without [dot and] extension. A checkbox or a setting string can establish that.

Thanks ICFU!

Thanks for the tip! But when I use Shift+F7, the screen turns to black (probably a maximized Dos command window), and after around 1 second, switch back to TC and the new folder was created. However, there is no such effect if I use TC command line to create a new folder.

..the screen turns to black (probably a maximized Dos command window

Edit the user command, and set:
[x] run minimized

Thanks for your comment. I have done it as you suggested. One line was added in the usercmd.ini: iconic=1
but I still get the black screen. What could be the problem?

[icfu]

1. Press Alt+Enter to leave full screen mode.
2. Afterwards rightclick console window titlebar, choose "Standard values" and deactivate full screen mode.
3. Press OK.

It does not work either. Actually I have the same problem when I RUN DOS in TC, always in full screen mode. I have sellect the "window" mode in "standard values". Same effect when I run cmd.exe directly under system32 folder. I really have no idea what is going wrong!

Save as doesntmatter.reg and doubleclick, then console will be reset. These are the default values from XP SP2!

Code: Select all

It works! Thank you!
The registry had set the cmd.exe works in the full screen mode.

Hi everyone

Sorry for not replying sooner but i don't visit the forum that often any more due to lack of time and apparently the email notification didn't work.

Anyway, thank you all for the suggestions.

I would like to resurrect this old wish (!). Yup, 10+ yrs later!

While such solutions are fine, they do not work with plugins, which would be useful.

Example: On one panel a local folder, on the other panel the MediaAudio2 plugin which connects to a smartphone. The solutions proposed here (or the small program i have created to accomplish this task) do not work (from local to the plugin - the other way around, it works).

It would be nice to have a way (cm_MkDirToOtherPanel command?) which would check if the plugin supports a mkdir function and if yes, popup the create folder dialog and eventually create the folder in the inactive panel (with perhaps a refresh of the panel). Shift+F7 could be a preferrable shortcut, if Christian decides to implement it and include it in the default TC setup.
