create a new open folder with the current date

how to create a new open folder with the current date in the active panel?

[Mathias (Author)]

Create a UserDefinedCommand of MultiScript type

And get the current time with gettime();  ( http://multicommander.com/docs/multiscript/functions/datetime#gettime )

Then format the time to what every format you want the datetime with formatdate ( http://multicommander.com/docs/multiscript/functions/datetime#formatdate )

Get the current source path as a base of the path where you add the datetime string to with GetSourcePath() ( http://multicommander.com/docs/multiscript/functions/getfilefromview#getsourcepath )

See this post for hints.

Create a UserDefinedCommand of Batch Script(.BAT) type

cmd /c md "%date:~0,2%.%date:~3,2%.%date:~6,4%-%time:~0,2%.%time:~3,2%.%time:~6,2%"


as go directly-open a folder?

Decided to try making a script for this.

config/user defined commands -> new - insert name & decription; 
command type dropdown select - multiscript -

Code: [Select]

@var $now = GetTime();
@var $date = FormatDate( "dd-MM-yyyy" , $now );
@var $folder;
@var $FolderBaseName = GetSourcePath();
{
 $folder = $FolderBaseName ^ $date;
 MC.Filesystem.Makedir PATH="{$folder}"
 }
--gives a folder with current date in selected pane/path.
