Seems to have a problem if installed in a path with spaces in it.

C:\Program Files\cdhere-1.2>addToPath.cmd

Hi

I've changed my laptop recently, changing from Vista to Seven, and the same config that previously worked fine now fails

When I invoke cdwhere.exe I now get the following :
webBrowserApp->get_HWND((LONG_PTR*)&hwnd)Code: -2147467259

Any clue at what I should look into? Thanks

Not an issue per se, but a tip if anyone has the same use case.

To use cdhere in your MSysGit Bash environment, add this to ~/.bash_profile :

function cdhere {
    CDWHERE=$(c:/path/to/cdhere/cdwhere.exe)
    if [ "$CDWHERE" != "" ]; then
        cd $CDWHERE
    fi
}

Again, thanks for that tool. Very neat.

The project is missing a LICENSE file and no license in mentioned in readme.md.

You need to have some MS VC package installed on your computer, in which case you might want to mention that in your readme. An alternative to consider might be to ship your program with those 2 DLLs?

Other than that, great little tool, thanks :)

What I have in mind is a "Browse for Folder" dialog that starts at your current location by default or elsewhere if you specify a starting location. E.g., cdwhere.exe /d could get you something like

while cdwhere.exe /d c:\python26 would start at

Using this kind of dialog would arguably be easier than opening a new Explorer window for when you don't have the destination directory already open in Explorer. With the dialog implemented your program would serve as a FOSS replacement for Wfolder (http://www.horstmuc.de/w32dial.htm).

It would be very nice if cdhere had a switch to pick the current path from the active Total Commander (or Double Commander) pane rather than from File Explorer. Better still if on top that it could automatically decide whether to get the path from Explorer or Total Commander (based on their respective windows' z-order?).

Proposed usage:

• cdhere /x — get path from File Explorer
• cdhere /t — get path from Total Commander
• cdhere — decide automatically

A simple but kludgy way to accomplish getting the path from Total Commander would be to ask the user to define a keyboard shortcut for cm_CopySrcPathToClip beforehand and then have cdhere send that keyboard shortcut as input to TC. Whether you could do this in a less kludgy way requires further research.

I may get to implementing this later.
