XYplorer Beta Club

Assume I have a simple batch script jump.bat with the following content:
When I double click on it nothing happens.

How else can I tell (from within a batch script) THE CURRENT XYplorer instance to jump to another directory IN THE SAME WINDOW?

XYplorer should NOT open a new, second XYplorer instance and window.

If you have single instance open, just this:

"D:\tools\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" D:\data

Unfortunately this does NOT work.

I am getting an error message:

"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

You're running that command in a batch file? Make sure to quote the path if it has spaces, and double check the path you have for XY.

The command will definitely work if you do it properly. Before trying it in a batch file, just run the command from a command prompt that is opened in the XYplorer folder, then use XYplorer.exe without path, and you'll see that it will definitely work.

If you need further suggestions, show a screenshot that contains the relevant batch file content, and the command prompt after running it.

Yes XYplorer opens in the target directory BUT it opens it in a new SECOND XYplorer window and NOT in the current window.

Its the same if I execute the command from batch script in Command Prompt in XYplorer installation directory

Here is the simple batch script jumptmp.bat:

I guess I have either to pass a cmdline parm like
Or I have to disallow multiple XYplorer instances. But I want to avoid latter.

Any other idea?

Use the /feed command line parameter with a simple goto script command?

Hmm, I have never worked with the "feed" command. How does that work?
and simply put
inside myscript.txt?

Where can I find all available command line parameters for XYplorer?

In the help file, Advanced Topics, Command Line Switches?

Code: Select all

xyplorer.exe /feed="::goto 'D:\tmp';"

Does NOT work. As in many other suggestions XYplorer opens a NEW XYplorer instances and jumps to target directory over there.

It seems to me that everyone here has disabled "Allow multiple instances".

Really no way of jumping INSIDE the current instance?

Do you have this enabled?

Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Open new instance always

Yes, I enabled this.
And I want to keep this preference in general.

Only if I double click on the mentioned batch script XYplorer should jump to other directory IN THE CURRENT instance
