Total Commander

Hi,
I have added c:\totalcmd to my PATH variable and can thus start Totalcmd64 in any folder from a dos terminal window.
I would like top open totalcmd64 in the current folder, but it seems not possible.
I tried:
Open dos terminal
navigate to d:\my\deep\folder\with\many\files via:
d:
cd d:\my\deep\folder\with\many\files
totalcmd64 .
totalcmd64 /L .

both seemed to ignore the . argument being the current folder.
Is there maybe another way to do this?

Thanks for your time.

totalcmd64 "%cd%"

Thanks @white, it worked without quotes as well for me as I had no white space in path and filename. I am a lazy typist, a single dot would still have my preference but maybe that is not the standard way to pass arguments, although creating a file dot (.) or dot dot (..) file is not allowed by notepad as they are in fact folders.

however, this "totalcmd64 . " is a well know syntax for many text editor and other tools (many in unix environment but nowadays since years on win too)
And it would be fine if TC also would process that, as it may be just expected to work that way.

. and .. are no real folders but a representation of the current path, or the parent path respectively,
which the interpreter (e.g. cmd.exe and TC) knows what to do with.

Perhaps you should create a tc.cmd file.

TC doesn't support relative paths as parameters, as can be seen in the help. It explicitly states "Always specify the full path name including the drive!".
