Create dated folder "broken" by new Dopus version

Help & Support
1

Hello!

I have always used a button on my toolbar to create a folder with the format YYYYMMDD and open it.
Since the last update, we do not have to "open" folders in new tabs anymore because we have the very convenient arrows on the left.
The issue is that, even if I highlight one of this subfolders in a tab and press the button, the folder is not created in the subfolder but in the main folder of the tab.

For example, if my tab is open on the folder AAA, which contains:

BBB
CCC
DDD
EEE
FFF
etc.

Even if I highlight EEE, pressing the button the folder is created in AAA instead.
I hope I have been clear. How can I fix this?
The same happens with the official "Create dated folder" in the "New folder" button:

Thank you!

Modify your buttons like this:

@nofilenamequoting
CreateFolder NAME="{filepath}\{date|yyyy-MM-dd} {time|HH-mm-ss}"

Thank you so much!
Could you please also tell me how can I fix this button to create a txt with the date as a name?

FileType NEW=.txt NEWNAME=norename:{date|yyyyMMdd}.txt

Thanks again!

Fabio

Same principle:

FileType NEW=.txt NEWNAME=norename:{date|yyyyMMdd}.txt PATH={filepath}

Thank you!

For the record, nothing was broken here. The command works the same as it always did. Expandable folders don't change where the normal New Folder command creates a new folder (it's still going to make it in the current directory, not one of the expanded directories; the same as old versions behaved when using Flat View).

Hi Leo!

I know, that's why I put "broken" in quotes. :slight_smile:

Best wishes,
