Stacks Docklet

TotalCommander, I believe, is what he's referring to. It's an explorer replacement program.

To answer his question, Matonga: Are you specifically calling up explorer.exe and passing the folder path to it? In C# if I just call up Process.Start(@{the path of the folder}) it'll use whatever the default file browser, and open the folder in there. I'm not sure if TotalCommander can fully replace Explorer - I haven't tried it - but if it can become the default browser than this would work.

I'm using ShellExecuteEx( ) which in turn should call the default file browser.

#488128

Yes, that is explorer - TC cannot replace Explorer so far, so what we would need a chance to use a command line to call TC - something like c:programm filesTCtc.exe /n/T/r="Mis documentos"

Any chance

What about:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellopencommand

(Default):REG_EXPAND_SZ = 'C:PathTotc.exe /n /T /r="%1"'

Edit:

It works (at least with 'notepad.exe "%1"', didn't try tc.exe).

Just do what I tell above and delete HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellopenddeexec

Don't forget to backup HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFolder first!!!

Edit:

The following works for me:

"C:Archivos de programaTotal CommanderTOTALCMD.EXE" "%1"

Hey guys ,

I use RK launcher and this wonderful docklet , but the docklet shows Tiger folders instead of leopard folders. I've used icolorfolder to change the appearance of my windows xp folders. I don't know what to do next...please help me

I've included a screenshot to show you what I mean.

Thanx

hey how did you get XP to look like that? I'm on vista using windowsblinds but I haven't been able to figure out how to get the menu up on the top like in yours.

#488136

TC is Total commander. You realy should put option for users to choose by what programs and wich arguments to open folders...

It would be nice to be able to define how to open folders inside every dock item (not stack items) separately. In item "Photos", subfolders would be opened in AcdSee, in "Music Folder" they would be enqueued in winamp, standard folders with TC,...

#488137

cool docklet!

#488142

right click - global settings - "open folder" text.

#488143

I've found it! any way thank you! =)

#488144

The menu is Objectbar.

(;:-.)) thanks for trying - that line above is what you set in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellopencommand?? and what do I loose by deleting ddeexec? Or where do you put that line from above?

To be honest if possible I would prefer not having to change registry

Ruben

#488166

hmm mine is not showing the icon for each folder, as in the music folder isnt showing the album art for the folder, and I have a documents folder on the bar also, and it isnt showing the correct icon for each item in the my documents folder.

Any fix for this>

Nah, of course it would be easier for Matonga to rewrite the docklet for you.... -_-

@Diesel1988

(:-.(( was that necessary? OD by itself can access that. Maybe its not just a big deal and it would be a great feature - so if you don't know better - why don't you sh....up?

I don't know what might be involved, but I surely believe it would be a great feature

Ruben

#488171

You've been given a solution and you've just shunned it (no you didn't try because you posted 4 mins after, some attempt huh?).

#488175

I am tempted to try the solution -but that is a mayor change in my xp -so I rather wait a minute to check. The whole thing has been discussed on the tc board and there have been some opinions and experiences against doing it, so ...

So different as you might think - I do and di investigate the whole thing as far as my knowledge lets me (:-))

@chavlji:

Yes, default value for command.

No, by deleting ddeexec it will work, else it doesn't work because tries to find an open instance of explorer instead of opening by command.

Don't forget to BACKUP original values first, before editing/deleting them!

@tosbsas:

It would be ridiculous to implement such features in the docklet. I think it would be better to develop an app to do that. Indeed I'll write the app :)

#488188

@matonga

why ridiculous? If the applet lets you set a file to use and paramters -like od does in its normal docklet?

Ruben

#488192

hey great

have you seen this:

Ruben

Mmmm... that's interesting. Thanks.

#488203

He ment me.

Why is it ridiculus to let each Dock item to open subfolders with its own parameters?

I think it would be very useful.

#488210

matonga, the way i see all your posts, you seem to be the most "active" replier around ;) sooooooo many replies :D
