Quick Create Folder Addition
« on: August 12, 2014, 08:15:18 »
I would love to see the addition of an input dialog on the quick create folders so a description could be added to the end of a dated folder as it is created. At the moment I do this via autohotkey, but if I could get this functionality in multicommander that would be fantastic.
Currently I have customised the quick create folder to make a dated directory with and underscore at the end (2104-08-08_), but then have to go to that folder and rename it to add a description after the underscore (2014-08-08_Files issued).

Adding user input for the quick create  folder is not possible.

But in the normal Create Folder dialog you can press F9 to current date and the you can insert your text

Or you can script it using MultiScript..
Code: [Select]
@var $targetFolder = GetSourcePath();
@var $now = GetTime();
@var $date = FormatDate( "yyyy-MM-dd" , $now );
@var $text = AskText("Enter text to add after date", "", 0);

@var $newFolder = $targetFolder ^ $date + "_" + $text;
MakeDir( $newFolder );
Then assign that script to a shotcut key or menu option.
