My first use with total commander :
For nice looking listing in console
A) launch tcbl.exe from TC using command line our DblClick.
B) When TCBL ask for a key.

Right-Click on the caption bar menu and choose "by default" properties on the menu.

Select all the console properties you need and use a TrueType Font like Consolas or Lucida Console.
Validate and type Enter to quit the application once properties are saved.

Very simple step using a "button" !
[ ---- Hide ---- ]

Right click on the toolbar and click "change".

Fill the following dialog as described here:
.

We assume that tcbl is installed in Total Commander path under the folder Tools\Tcbl.

The command    : %commander_path%\tools\tcbl\tcbl.exe
The parameters : %L echo $f $A %T\liste$d.txt

%L is the temporary file containing all the selected file. (this is our file listing)
%T is a total commander variable that design the Target Folder.

echo $f $A %T\Liste$d.txt is our tcbl command that indicate that we want to echo each file name ($f) appending ($A) to the file fileYYYYMMDD.txt ($d is replaced by the date using the format YYYYMMDD)

a generated bat file can be :

echo "C:\WINDOWS\system32\c_874.nls" >> c:\liste20080710.txt
echo "C:\WINDOWS\system32\c_875.nls" >> c:\liste20080710.txt

Very simple step using a "user cmd" [ + Show Simple Sample 02 ]
Instead of using a button, create a user command ! in order to edit a user command, you can:
  • use the internal command editor ( command cm_commandBrowser using usercmd.ini !
  • directly use a text editor and edit your usercmd.ini file.
