F7: Create directory
This command creates a new subdirectory in the
source directory. After pressing
F7, simply type the desired name for the directory. If the cursor was standing on another directory or file, the name of that directory/file is offered for creating the new directory (to create multiple directories with similar names). Press
Shift+F7 to create the directory in the target panel. You can also create several subdirectories in one operation. Just separate the subdrectories with a backslash, e.g. directory1\directory2\directory3. Furthermore, you can create multiple subdirs in the same (or different) dirs. The syntax to use is:
dir1|dir2|dir3 or c:\dir1|c:\dir2|c:\dir3
If the source directory shows the contents of an archive, this function is unavailable, except for ZIP, RAR and TAR archives.
If the name starts with the character '<', the same placeholders as in the
multi-rename tool can be used. You can pick some of them via the [+] button near the edit box.
By default, all placeholders for date and time will use the time when the dialog box was opened. See modifiers [T1], [T2], and [T3] for the multi-rename tool.
If the creation of the directory fails on Windows XP or newer, you will also be asked whether you want to create the directory "As Administrator". See
F5: Copy for details about this function.
