Notepad++ Open containing folder and SELECT FILE

[Yaron]

What should I add to the following command (in shortcuts.xml) so that Notepad++ would open the containing folder and also select the current file?

Code: Select all

<Command name="Open containing folder" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">explorer $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)</Command>

Thank you.

Thanks Squashman. I'm sure that a truckload of posters copy and paste their question onto a dozen forums.

Hi foxidrive,

If posting in multiple forums is contrary to the conventional etiquette, I apologize.

The following command opens the folder and selects the file. I'm still looking for a way to open the folder maximized.

Code: Select all

"C:\Windows\Explorer.exe" /select, "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Thanks.

Code: Select all

cmd /c "start /max C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /select, $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

Do you know how to adapt the code to "shortcuts.xml"? I couldn't make it work.

Code: Select all

cmd /c "start /max C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /select, $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\shortcuts.xml"

should work.

Thanks again. It's kind of you.

I meant how to use the code in the file "shortcuts.xml".

This works:

Code: Select all

cmd /c "start /max C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /select, $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Is it possible to hide the Dos window which pops up for a second?

And then set the shortcut to whatever you want.

The command prompt will always flash.

Thank you. I really appreciate it.
