Can EV add a parameter similar to the %L function in Total Commander?

Post by yahuu »

This parameter would be very useful in the custom_open_command.
%L, %l, %F, %f, %D, %d, %UL, %UF, %WL, %WF
create a list file in the TEMP directory with the names of the selected files and directories, and appends the name of the list file to the command line. The list is deleted automatically when the called program quits. Only one list per command is supported. Include parameter %a to also append selected files and directories from the target panel.
10 types of list files can be created:
%L Long file names including the complete path, e.g. c:\Program Files\Long name.exe
%l (lowercase L) Short file names including the complete path, e.g. C:\PROGRA~1\LONGNA~1.EXE
%F Long file names without path, e.g. Long name.exe
%f Short file names without path, e.g. LONGNA~1.EXE
%D Short file names including the complete path, but using the DOS character set for accents.
%d Short file names without path, but using the DOS character set for accents.
%UL,%UF
like %L and %F, but with UTF-8 Unicode list file (with byte order mark)
%WL,%WF
like %L and %F, but with a UTF-16 Unicode list file (with byte order mark)

I'm search with Everything in Total Commander and then use all these TC functions.
Why do I need the same in Everything ?
Everything will never be the same as a full-fledged 2 pane file manager like TC or XYplorer,
but provides the sophisticated search functions no file manager today provides native.

My suggestion is for EV to add a feature similar to this parameter in TC. I'm not using it in TC.
Some software requires the input parameters to be a list file containing file paths.

I have put on my TODO list to add %L

Thank you for the suggestion.
