Find File + Feed to listbox features

Post by *pkr67 »

Example 1:
c:\aaa\bbb in left window, c:\ in right window, focus in left window.
Find Files (for example because i want to 'Find text'), then Feed to listbox.
Search result: in left window, c:\ in right window
Now a press Alt+F2 + C (because I want to copy some file of "Search result" into the same folder (c:\aaa\bbb) with changed name), but there is still c:\ in right window instead of c:\aaa\bbb. Yes, I know, I should press Alt+F2 + C before I have used Find Files, but I forget often to do so...
Example 2:
I use Find Files, then Feed to listbox. Then I'm viewing files from Search result to find exactly the file I´m looking for (for example in any subfolder). Then I want to go to this file (in his folder), but there is no possibility... Maybe the item "Go to the file" in context menu (right click) should be nice solution.
Thanks!

Did you try [CTRL]+ [->] or [CTRL]+ [<-] it seems to do exactly what you need.

Thank you, nsp!
That's exactly what I want in Example1.
In Example2 Ctrl+Right works well, but I´d prefer to go to the file in left panel... Ctrl+Left gets me in the file folder, but not at the file... but better than nothing :wink:

Don't you mean Alt+F2 + C - otherwise it doesn't make sense ?

Of course, Alt+F2 + C. I've rewrited it yet in the first topic, to be clear to others immediately. Thanks!

If you want to go to the file uder crsor in te same pane you can create a user command
em_goto_file_same_panel

Code: Select all

command: cd
parameters:%N
...
If you want to automatically create a new panel you should use total commander command line switches:
em_goto_file_new_panel_same side

Code: Select all

command: %commander_exe% 
parameters:/O /S /T /L=%N

Just notice that if you use nsp's suggestion (cd %N) on a packed file, TC will open the packed file in stead of opening the directory holding the packed file.
