Path with action, variant of "{action_path}" and "{action_path:parent}"

feature
#1

I know “{action_path}” or “{action_path:parent}” could be used to invoke customized action. But I want a mixture of the two, which selects

  • “{action_path}” if “{action_path}” is a directory
  • “{action_path:parent}” if “{action_path}” is not a directory

Maybe the name could be “{action_path:directory}”??

Using cmd as example

Keyword: cmd
Name: Open cmd here
Path: cmd
Parameter: /k cd “{action_path:directory}”

Version:
Listary Pro
Version 5.00.2843

#2

No problem. I’ll add a parameter for directory.

#3

I’m also trying to add an “Open cmd in current path” action, is this feature available now?

#4

I’ll add this in the stable version of Listary 6.

I understand that Listary6 is still beta now. Since there’s no update details between beta versions (I’m using beta, and get updated as soon as there’s a newer version), So I hope you don’t mind me asking, is there any news on this topic?

#6

You can find the update detail here.

As for how to open command line in certain folder, currently I use Cmder which has an option to open in the current folder. See here on how to set up Cmder to start at a certain directory. After setting it up, you can search a folder in Listary, then use Ctrl + O to bring up the contextual menu to open start a command line in the folder selected (see image below).

Thanks for the update detail. I never scrolled that far, only saw that data “2018-12-10”, then skipped.

This variable hasn’t been added yet. It may be added in the stable version of 6.
