Display only Files

[kennya1]

Is there a way to get TC to only display files and NOT the subfolders in a folder?

Hello !

• With TC 7.55 … you may use Ctrl+Shift+B and cm_DirBranchSel to get a “flat view” of a selected folder…

did you try Define selection

ctrl + 12

Define
Plugins tab
Check Search in plugins
Plugin: tc
Property: file type
OP: =
Value: folder

<Ctrl+F12>

Code: Select all

|*\

The mask behind the pipe"|" symbol is used to hide the matching files and folder "*\".
Hiding of folders works only this direct way (not via a saved filter).

Thanks for the

Suggestion.

I should point out that this works most of the time as long as you do not have and "periods" in the folder name or and files without an extension. i wish I could save it as a permanent view

If you download TCMC: allows to send multiple TC commands on one button/command line.

Then you could do something like this (on a button):

Command: "%Commander_Path%\Tools\TCMC.exe" 50 CMcm_SelectAllFiles CMcm_ShowOnlySelected CMcm_ClearAllFiles
Tooltip:Hide Directories, show files only ...

OR:

Command: "%Commander_Path%\Tools\TCMC.exe" 50 CMcm_SelectAllFolders CMcm_ShowOnlySelected CMcm_ClearAllFolders
Tooltip: Hide Files, Show Directories only ...

2Balderstrom,

Norton Anti-Virus does not like that program at all. But I did get it working in Toolbar.ini. I just haven't figured out how to get back to the original listing from the button.

Boofo, NAV just doesn't like EXE compressor used with TCMC (and most of AV software don't like EXE compressors and treat files compressed with just UPX as viruses even if they don't see any viruses in uncompressed files).

[Balderstrom]

Yeah that's a known "issue", just exclude it. If you recall TC used to be packed/compressed as well.

TCMC isn't packed with UPX, so I haven't bothered trying to find which compressor was used -- many others cost $30-$50. I'm not gonna pay for a program to unpack something that works fine as is.

2MVV,

I have only had NAV kicked into dislike mode on a couple of TC add-ons like this. Usually, the packed files aren't that bad to get an alert. The packed file from the older TC never gave me any alerts.

2Balderstrom,

I actually did the same thing as you suggested with Toolbar (from Samuel). Here is the INI file settings I used:

[Button 4 Normal]
; Hide Directories, show Files only
1_Command=3302
2_Command=2023
3_Command=3304

[Button 5 Normal]
; Hide Files, show Directories only
1_Command=3303
2_Command=2023
3_Command=3305

It works but there is no way to get back to the original listing when you click the button.

@ Boofo:
CTRL+F10
or (in my Main Menu)
--> View / ALL Files

I consider it a mild GUI bug that when things are filtered like this, the view menu continues to Highlight/Focus on "View / All Files" as if there is no filter enabled.

[Boofo]

2Balderstrom

Yes, I knew how to do it that way. I was just trying to make a button for it somehow to do it from what I posted.

[Balderstrom]

@Boofo:
You can put cm_SrcAllFiles on a button, AFAIK that is the exact action/definition of CTRL+F10
