Is it possible to open a folder, with QGIS' "run feature action", using Total Commander instead of explorer?
Something like:
explorer [%'C:\myfolder'%]
needs to be
C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD.EXE [%'C:\myfolder'%]

Actually I need to open a folder witch contains some picture related to a point feature shape file, so with the info button I open the action menu to be redirected from Qgis to the exact folder and I can see what photos are related to the selected point. Furthermore the folder's path to be opened is stored as a point's attributeArthur– Arthur2020-10-06 10:29:06 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 10:29

What is wrong now? I believe it is more a TotalCommander question (see this post for the required command line arguments)JGH– JGH2020-10-06 12:16:03 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 12:16

Thanks for the hint, but I tried that code before posting my question and it didn't worked, it resulted in a message "unable to execute command", even replacing the directories.Arthur– Arthur2020-10-06 12:29:14 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 12:29

fyi on windows you have to start qgis.bat, not qgis.exe. The bat is in the \bin subdirectory. gis.stackexchange.com/questions/54778/…Mapperz– Mapperz ♦2020-10-06 13:37:56 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 13:37

qgis.bat opens the 3.14 version instead of the 3.10 long term release, but same message appears:unable to execute command @echo off SET totalc="C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE" set folder="C:\ " ECHO opening %folder% with %totalc% %totalc% %folder% ECHO openedArthur– Arthur2020-10-06 14:16:32 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2020 at 14:16

Not exactly what I had in mind but it works. Save this batch file (similar to the one found in the link suggested above by JGH):
@echo off
setlocal
set "totalc=C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE"
set "folder=%1"
echo opening "%folder%" with "%totalc%"
"%totalc%" /O /T /L="%folder%"
echo opened
Call the batch file inside QGIS using this Windows action:
C:/Users/BATCHFILEPATH.bat [%PATH%]
where [%PATH%] is the field that stores the folder to be opened.
