I work over a WAN and often need to access remote files. I have set up a local directory structure that mirrors the remote file server (selectively). When I need a document, I copy it to my local directory structure first, then I do my updates and copy it back.
It would be very useful to have a command that allows me to 'synchronise' the directory displayed in the top and bottom Listers. For example, if I have
C:\Drives\Z\Clients\ABCD\BigProject\Reports
selected in the top Lister, I want to hit a button that automatically selects
Z:\Clients\ABCD\BigProject\Reports
in the bottom Lister and switches focus.
I'm new to Directory Opus, so a few pointers are appreciated.
Do this...
[ul][li]Unpack the attached zip file, so that you have Map_Path.dcf.[/li]
[li]Go to Settings -> Customize in Opus.[/li]
[li]Drag Map_Path.dcf on to your toolbar.[/li]
[li]Find the Customize window and click OK to return Opus to normal.[/li][/ul]... and you should have a button that you can click while in C:\Drives\X\Moo\Cow which will open X:\Moo\Cow (etc.) in the dual display.
The dual display automatically gets the focus for me but it may not depending on your configuration. If it doesn't let me know and I'll tell you what to change in the button.
The button is more complex than usually needed since I resorted to using VBScript to change the path, and used a trick to allow the VBScript to be part of the button itself instead of in a separate file... Edit the button if you're interested in the details. (When in Customize mode, right-click it and choose Edit.) Map_Path.zip (1.3 KB)
