[...]probably you have to put /s inside the quotation marks because "start" is using it itself (?) That's right Nikos! Thank you, I had to kill all "start /wait" crap to get it to work Not neccessary with the tip from Nikos. If you want the first command to finsih before the sec...

Well, as they say: "you can't win them all" But I'm sure the 'lack' of this feature is being outweighed by the many pro's X² has over the competition? Or are you creating folders like this on a regular basis? (But then the typing of a simple command like the one above wouldn't be too much ...

I stand corrected. You're absolutely right!

You are correct. My point is that if you are getting the rar.exe is not recognized error you are not running the script from the C:\backups folder. For that script it makes more sense to have the C: cd C:\backups TIP: On Windows XP (and later) you can combine this in one statement as follows: cd /c...

If your worry is the console window left open, simply use this as your "szDosCmdPreamble" (regKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZabaraKatranemia Plc\Xplorer2_UC): %comspec% /c Then the command window will close, provided you don't use the X² command window (disable setting in Tools.Options-...

I have to put this in this thread, though it is command prompt related  (can't resist I'm afraid, Fred). It's just that the script I provided earlier in this thread is superfluous on Windows XP :oops: (don't know about Vista). If you use the command prompt command 'md' to create a folder, it also al...

Caution: Note that this change will have repercussions in command line execution (no current directory). You can bypass the "Caution" by using a "CD \<current folder name>" in your script files. This has been fixed by Nikos too. So no need for "CD \<current folder name>&quo...

But X² is progressing! But not in the direction you suggest I'm afraid...

My bad. I had a command in the "szDosCmdPreamble" which was no longer on my system. So when a 'normal' command prompt was started by X², it generated an error. Strangely enough it did create the folders, but didn't execute the exit at the end of the script. Normally I do have the X² DOS wi...

Hmm, normally it would, but on my system it won't. Even without the Exit it would have to close the command prompt when the script ends. Only if you have specified a custom preamble (szDosCmdPreamble in registry) it could behave differently. I'll investigate at home (where I ran the script, currentl...

3) Create folder tree at once: 1\2\3 should create "1", then "2" in "1", then "3" in "2" and open (if option [1] is set) folder "3". The case "1\2\3; 4" should create 4 folders: 1-2-3 and 4 on 1's level. Ah, this is a change requ...

no it won't

Your time saver is already available (with the expense of some extra typing required)! If you want to create a bunch of folders in one go, simply do this: - go to the address bar (Shift-TAB) - type: $ md qwe & md asd & md zxc [enter] This will open a command prompt (or the local DOS window X...

Sorry, I didn't see 4, but only two shortcuts for X² after installing 1.7.0.1. Have deleted the oldest one I'm afraid, so it could well be that one was on 'my' desktop and the new one (which still remains now) on 'all users' Desktop.

See this too (admin on XP).

Maybe it is caused by the fact that the new shortcut has a somewhat different contents? The '/M' switch is added to ensure that X² is not minimized upon start.
