/select command that also focus file

Help & Support

Hello everyone!

In explorer, there is a command so you can select AND focus on particular file:

explorer.exe /select,"%1"

the similar command in DOpus does select the file, but not actually focus the file:

dopusrt.exe /cmd Select PATTERN="%1%""

Any advice appreciated.

Try adding MAKEVISIBLE to the command.

Oh, that'll scroll the file into view but won't actually give it the keyboard focus, so I guess it's not what you want.

if I want to use this command in "user command editor", what is symbol for the filenames which I add when I run the command?

if i make a command that is named FocusFile and look like this:

Go PATH="%2%" Select MAKEVISIBLE="%3%"

and i try to run it like this

dopusrt.exe /cmd FocusFile c:\windows notepad.exe

so c:\windows is the folder to be opened
and notepad.exe is the file to be selected.
i get errormess %2% doesn't existst.

If you want to go to a folder and select a file you can do it in a single, simple line without needing a user command at all:

dopusrt.exe /cmd Go "C:\Windows\notepad.exe"
