Here I am again with more or less the same problem as in 2017

In Windows 10 on the taskbar I want to start MultiCommander according to my startup.ini
the commandline in 'Target' reads

"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -F="Startup.ini""

It looks like the " are wrong

has anyone got the corect version?

Although the function  looks K, I still wonder how to embed it in a script that:

runs through all files in a folder, moives them to a new folder, created beforehand
e.g.
:mainFolder\ file_x.txt date= 10-10-2017
should land in folder w41 (being the weeknumber)
OR
run through the filelist in a folder and ADD the weeknumber attribute (?) to the file

At this moment (27-03-2017) I am back to a situation as I started with.
Mathias' suggestion did not really help me.
How can  I calculate the weeknumber?

Any simple idea to script both the 'Move' action and the 'weeknum' calculation?
I would be very pleased

I think I am going nuts over this.
All I want is MC to start with 2 windows.
Left the G drive and the folder Mijn Documenten
Right The F drive.

Mij startup ini contains this

Code Select Expand


[PANEL_1]
Path = "G:\"
Side = L
ShowTree = 1
Locked = 0

[PANEL_2]
Path = "F:\mijn documenten"
Side = R
ShowTree = 1
Locked = 0


The commandline in windows 10 is:
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -F= "Startup.ini""

WTH am I doing wrong??

Afterall I simplpy did the operation by hand.

Hello guys,

I am a bit familiar to vba scripting. What I would like to see/accomplished is that approx. 500 files are rearanged into specific (sub)folders named with the weeknumber of the files.
Example:
NOW:
file[whatever]{date = 01-01-2016}  /week 1
file[whatever]{date = 08-01-2016}  /week 2
file[whatever]{date = 15-01-2016}  /week 3
file[whatever]{date = 01-22-2016}  /week 4
file[whatever]{date = 01-29-2016}  /week 6
etc.

NEW situation
MainFolder/Week_1/file[whatever]{date = 01-01-2016}
MainFolder/Week_1/file[whatever]{date = 02-01-2016}
MainFolder/Week_1/file[whatever]{date = 03-01-2016}
MainFolder/Week_1/file[whatever]{date = 04-01-2016}

So, I need to calculate the weeknumber of each file,
use this number to:
Create a new folder with the name"Week" &[weeknumber] /one time operation for files concerned
Move the files within this weeknumber period to the newly created folder.

Jumping through the whole list of files in the [main] folder.

Q:
is it possible?
How to accomplish?

Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps it might be an extra 'tool' as well for MC

Dear Forum members,

Is it possible to have MC as 'standard' explorer?
(I mean a full take over, so that win explorer is NOT being used at all)
If so

How to?

perhaps the order makes the last one active?
so put the active window in last position

location:
C:\Program Files\Multicommander (x64)\startup.ini
In the box in Shortcut I types a ' too much, yet antorher typo.
full command is now:
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -F="startup.ini"

PLEASE NOT CLOSE YET.

Apparently it is NOT working.
I corrected the mistake (typo)
But, if I change the multicommander to another drive while lookiung for a file and I close the application, reopen it, the desired foilders/drives are not according to the ini file.
(See enclosed file)
Does the ini file need " or ' around the folder name?

Ahhh silly me!! it was the space!
Thanks a lot
I must have overlooked that.
topic can be closed

I made the following file:

Name:
startup.ini

Contents:

[PANEL_1]
Path=F:\Mijn Documenten\
Side=L
ShowTree=1

[PANEL_2]
Path=E:\
Side=R
ShowTree=1

Location:
C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\

Commandline in shortcut:
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -F=" startup.ini"
It is not working as supposed to.

What mistake did I make?

Thanks for your help so far

Perhaps I am dumb, but I want to open MC, showing a specifried drive AND it's folderlist.
I seem to be blind or so, but I cannot find te setting.
I use windows 7 64 bit
