(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_managers">Comparison of File Managers - Wiki</a>) The main problem is that it's Windows Only file-manager. Despite that IMHO it's the most convenient one becaus of its two windows side by side interface & flexibility. ---- ### Run Cmder console in specified folder It's simple like that: ``` cmder/Cmder.exe /start <your_start_folder> ``` ---- ### Run Cmder console in Total Commander current target path All you need here is to add Cmder to Total Button Bar and to pass current target path. `%T` - Inserts the current target path. Especially useful for packers. Go to *Configuration->Button Bar->Add* ``` Command: your_path\cmder\Cmder.exe /start Parameters: %T Icon file: your_path\cmder\Cmder.exe ``` Now if you'll click on Cmder icon in Bottom Bar it would start from currently opened folder in Total Commander. ---- ## see Also * [Pair your Atom editor with Cmder console](http://bloomlab.blogspot.com.ee/2016/08/pair-your-atom-editor-with-cmder-console.html) * [Integrate SSH Agent or PuTTY Agent](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/wiki/Integrate-SSH-Agent-or-PuTTY-Agent) * [Catch JS breakpoints in IDEA](http://bloomlab.blogspot.com.ee/2016/06/catch-js-breakpoints-in-idea.html) * [Boost your web development speed with LiveReload](http://bloomlab.blogspot.com.ee/2016/04/boost-your-web-development-speed-with.html) * [Total Commander Button Bar Parameters Cheat Sheet](https://www.cheatography.com/deejroth/cheat-sheets/total-commander-button-bar-parameters/) * [Cmder](http://cmder.net/) * [Total Commander - Download](https://www.ghisler.com/download.htm) * [Total Commander alternative for Mac](http://mac.eltima.com/file-manager.html)
