Download (1.6.0.5) [24-12-2013]

What is it good for?

In a few words: this small freeware utility extends your Total Commander's directory creating capabilities - after installing it, you can create a bunch of (even multi-leveled!) directories with a single click, with numerous possibilities...

Features

NEW: Ability to create your own plugins (special variables)
NEW: Ability to set the directory attributes
NEW: Lots of hotkeys (see the Changelog / About dialog)
NEW: Batch directory creation (Decimal / Roman / ABC)
NEW: Template Manager - now you can use your own predefined user templates
NEW: Configuration window - detailed customization of the utility
NEW: 6 built-in window color theme (optional) [you can create your own themes too]
Built-in installer & uninstaller for easier usage (run the utility out of TC's directory to activate the installer)
Full integration to Total Commander (F7, Shift + F7, or any other key combination)
Multi-language support (English, Hungarian, Russian, Dutch, Spanish, German, Danish, Chinese, Ukrainian, Korean)
Normal directory creation mode: almost the same as Total Commander's "New Directory" dialog, with a lots of advantages
Extended directory creation mode: you can type in (or load from file) a list of directories, then create them with a single click
Support for multi-leveled directory creation (directories with more than one subdir)
Templates - create directory with predefined templates (e.g. "New Directory (%D-%N-%y)")
Replacements: you can use environment variables (like %OS% or %USERNAME%) in the name of the new directory
Basic variables: you can use vars like %s (current second), %x (unix time) etc.
Special variables: you can use vars like {pc} (current PC name), and {wact} (current Winamp track's title)
Drag & Drop support (change the current directory by dragging a new dir to the extDir's window; you can also drag & drop files there, in this case the same named directories will be created)
Intelligent selection: press Ctrl + Tab to select the next part of the new directory's name (the next part after space)
Instant Modifiers: Space2Dot, Dot2Space, Invert Case - more to come, stay tuned!
Refresh the current path in extDir simply by pressing F5 or Ctrl + R key combo after navigating to a new directory in Total Commander
Edit the current path manually (double-clicking on the path) - Total Commander is automatically navigated to the new path, if it exists
Enter directory after creation (optional)
Close extDir after directory creation (optional)
Undo function
... and much more!

beside that, now it's saved with the exe file's name (suggested by [Yustas.NeO] and billiebub) * Change: load the previously saved MkDirHistory list only on combobox dropdown event / using the mouse wheel on combobox / on closing application (if the previous two events didn't happen) * Change: added some tiny png icons to the (+) (replacements/variables) popup window (date, system, application) & changed the icon of Undo button * Change: increased the input box's height in Extended mode (+ 25 px) * Change: changed the utility's icon & logo to a new, smooth one * Change: added copyright notice about Total Commander (installer & about) * Fixed: [!] the utility wasn't able to catch the TPathPanel's correct handle if any tabs were opened in the actual side of Total Commander * Fixed: [!] if wincmd.ini is Unicode encoded, the user have to install the utility manually (no more accidentally lost settings) * Fixed: [!] if wincmd.ini is Unicode encoded, the utility won't save the MkDirHistory to this file, instead it creates an external file in the extDir's directory (with filename "%exe_files_name%.lst") and works with that * Fixed: now the user can only install & run the utility from Total Commander * Fixed: window positioning problem [multi-monitor issue] (extDir's window always opened on primary monitor even if TC was active on second monitor) (reported by Axe1) * Fixed: the utility's positioning now depends on the Total Commander window's actual position (suggested by Axe1 - thanks!) * Fixed: update every control's font charset to the correct one (according to the current language) * Fixed: always insert the newly created directories to the top of the combobox list * Fixed: small visual glitch in Extended mode with more directories (if the first line is blank) * Fixed: language-related minor button-caption problem (@ installation) * Fixed: error on loading non-existent language resource (instead always load "ENG") * Fixed: sometimes the caret jumped to the start of the directory combobox on changing the active control * Fixed: invalid starting characters in the dir combobox after pressing Ctrl+V (if an environment variable was on clipboard, which returns a path) * Fixed: sometimes the installer didn't show the language files author correctly (now the contact mail can be seen in the button hint too) * Fixed: access violation in Extended mode after creating directories (if "Close the window after directory creation" option was unchecked) * Fixed: insert a new line with the selected template instead of changing the whole directory list to the selected template (in Extended mode) * Fixed: "do you want to create the missing folders?" popup: show only the path in Extended mode, without all the directories (sometimes they simply didn't fit screen) * Fixed: problem if the manually edited path didn't exist (only Extended mode was affected) * Fixed: automatically open the Load [from file] window with the current path (instead of the utility's basedir) * Fixed: disabled ShowAccelChar for the directory preview & template preview label (reported by [Yustas.NeO]) * Fixed: the installer now correctly detects if Total Commander has been terminated & starts the installation automatically (instead of countdowning) * Fixed: a rare bug causing access violation if the directory was created right after starting the utility * Fixed: small (auto-)selection problems regarding templates * Fixed: quicker window repositioning (@formcreate instead of activate) * Fixed: window hangs if Total Commander is minimized to tray at the creation of the actual window (reported by Myone) * Fixed: the utility's main window's height is incorrect on OS before Vista (4px less than on Vista/Win7) * Fixed: blinking directory preview on XP (now it's doublebuffered) * Fixed: if "Replace the invalid character with" option is checked, show the preview with the replacement characters (suggested by [Yustas.NeO]) * Fixed: automatically change the name of the future folder when replacement changes in the configuration (reported by [Yustas.NeO]) * Fixed: lots of other bugs... [10-10-2011] Total Commander extDir 1.4b * Fixed: now the installer uses environment variables to get current Total Commander & wincmd.ini file's path * Fixed: language-related minor gui bugs * Fixed: version info (1.4.0.2) * Fixed: other minor bugfixes (mainly of the installer) [06-10-2011] Total Commander extDir 1.4a (First Public Release) * New: Multi-language support * New: Total Commander automatically navigates to the new path, if it's edited manually and exists * New: Basic variables [%s (current second), %h (current hour) etc] * Fixed: (<= 7.50) invalid path after refreshing the current directory * Fixed: sometimes the current path didn't refresh after manually entering it * Fixed: support for Total Commander versions older than 7.50 * Fixed: a lot of bugs & incomplete functions [03-10-2011] Total Commander extDir 1.3a * New: Ability to manually edit the current path * New: Ability to load the list of directories from file * New: Built-in installer & uninstaller for easier usage * New: Drag & Drop function * Change: ~60% of the original program code has been rewritten * Fixed: access violation @ formclose (only in Extended mode) * Fixed: a really long path often doesn't fits the GUI * Fixed: now the utility automatically terminates in case TC is inside ZIP files / on FTP * Fixed: much more...
