TotalCommander Utility Save Permenant DirHotList

[HardCopy]

As users of TotalCommander will be aware - DirectoryHotlist in the current version is lost every time you restart the program.

This script will save every Path visited into files for the left & right panes which can than be accessed by the HotKey ALT + DOWNARROW. Click the desired path in the left or right box and that path will appear in the pane.

TotalCommander must be loaded before this script can be loaded or it will terminate.

Recommend Use batch file to load TC then this file.

It has worked ok for me to date, untested on other systems. v7.0 of TotalCommander will have its own

implementation of this feature. So its just a shortterm workaround.

Your comments bug reports welcomed.

;;INSTRUCTIONS For USE
;; ====================
;; Requires Latest BETA of Autoit Available from: 
;; http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit

;; 1. Compile & copy the newly created .EXE file into your Total Commander Directory (It Saves the history textfiles LeftPanehist.txt & RghtPaneHist.txt Files here too.)
;; 2. Assign A New Button on Button Bar & Press to Execute LawzTCHist.exe
;;  (Or preferably create a batch file to launch TotalCommander then this script/exe & Point your TotalCommander shortcut to point to the batch file. 
;; 3. Access Function by PRESSING <ALT>+<ARROWDOWN> as per TotalCommander default History function.
