[yusef88]

start firefox.exe -Profile "afox/"

[yusef88]

Possible to make command prompt figure out what's the drive letter of portable xyplorer folder?
cmd /K "cd /d ?:\xy portable\"
goto get("driveletter", "data", "?:\xy portable\"); //soft drive letter

thanks for replay highend
I run xyplorer and firefox in portable mode and use this command to run firefox

Code: Select all

<xypath>\afox.bat

the batch contain this

Code: Select all

start firefox.exe -Profile "afox/"

is there any possibility to start firefox directly by script? soft drive letter can do any trick in my case?

Code: Select all

get("driveletter", "data", "?:\xy portable\"); //soft drive letter

[binocular222]

Code: Select all

Run """C:\Program Files\firefox.exe"" -Profile afox/"

Note that any switch with space must have double quote

[yusef88]

Code: Select all

Run """C:\Program Files\firefox.exe"" -Profile afox/"

Note that any switch with space must have double quote

what will happen it creates a new folder named afox in C:\Program Files\firefox directory, i want run my firefox profile as a relative path, in any case it is not so that important it works by batch and it's ok. just curious to know if XY could do it ,thanks binocular222

Where exactly does this profile folder exist? Show the complete folder hierarchy.

[yusef88]

on thumb drive and it's letter manged by windows so it changes every time i plug it
something like that H:\xy-portable\afox\ batch file must be placed in the root folder that contains the firefox profile to start correctly

Code: Select all

H:\xy-portable\afox\
<xypath>\afox\

do you get me?

If you run XY from that USB, then <xypath> is already portable (not depend of drive letter)
i.e: Paste this in address bar and press enter:
::echo <xypath>

If you want to get the drive letter that XYplorer is running on, then use a question mark ? i.e:
Run """C:\Program Files\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""?\Somefolder\afox/"" "

If you don't run XY on that USB, then use this:

Code: Select all

 $USBdrive = trim(get("drives", 2), '\');;
 Run """C:\Program Files\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""$USBdrive\Somefolder\afox/"" "

[yusef88]

wow it's working exactly as I want. binocular222 many thanks to you

Code: Select all

 $USBdrive = trim(get("drives", 2), '\');;
 Run """%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""$USBdrive\xy-portable\afox/"" "

let's say i have another usb plugged before so it will use it instead the one i work with it

First usb drive with that folder wins...

Code: Select all

    $folderName = "xy-portable";
    $usbDrives = replace(get("drives", 2), "\", "");
    foreach($drive, $usbDrives, "|") {
        if (exists("$drive\$folderName") == 2) {
            run """%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""$drive\$folderName\afox/""";
            break;
        }
    }

            break;
        }
    }

what I like in your script that "xy-portable" folder must be exists first and doesn't create new one if it's not, so I guarantee don't leave any traces in mistake area. very thanks highend

Code: Select all

"cmd" /k "C:\Program Files\dcrypt\dccon.exe" -mountall

in user defined commands it works but how to run it directly by script

[binocular222]

Run "cmd /k ""C:\Program Files\dcrypt\dccon.exe"" -mountall"

[yusef88]

binocular222, you're the best

to whom it may concern

Code: Select all

Run """%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""<xypath>\afox/"" "

works standalone very well
