I run the script. I have not been able to make it get the current path. The window title is changed but path is empty.
Did it work for you? -

No it did not, but this did:
Code:#IfWinExist, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
; Default shortcut is Win-A
$#a::
; Get the handle of the control that contains the current path
SendMessage, 1074, 17
; Get the current path
WinGetText, PathInTC, ahk_id %ErrorLevel%
; Cut off the trailing > and newline signs
StringTrimRight, PathInTC, PathInTC, 3
Send, {Raw}%PathInTC%\
Return

Interesting. I also tried (message box "B" below) the other method using the Clipboard on page
https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/Au...h_anywhere
These pieces of code return the content of the prompt at the bottom of the window. It would be perfect if a command could return the content of the various tabs on the two panes (3 paths in the example below). But this first solution could be used to improve how QAP works with TC.

Also, in History.txt (in TC's folder), some other commands are listed. Command "Send WM_USER+50" (WM_User=1024 +50 = 1074) with parameters 15 and 16 returns some info about each panel. But not about each tabs.
If someone finds more complete reference about these "Send WM_USER+50" and "Send WM_USER+51 commands, please, let us know. -

Most I additionaly got was with WM_USER+50 with params 26 and 27, you get right an left pane active tab paths, and that is something!
08.06.16 Added: Send WM_USER+50 with wparam=1..29 -> returns window handle of control.
Controls are:
1=leftlist, 2=rightlist, 3=active list, 4=inactive list, 5=leftheader, 6=rightheader, 7=leftsize, 8=rightsize, 9=leftpath,
10=rightpath, 11=leftinfo, 12=rightinfo, 13=leftdrives, 14=rightdrives, 15=leftpanel, 16=rightpanel, 17=bottompanel,
18=lefttree, 19=righttree, 20=cmdline, 21=curdirpanel, 22=inplaceedit, 23=splitpanel, 24=leftdrivepanel, 25=rightdrivepanel,
26=lefttabs, 27=righttabs, 28=buttonbar, 29=buttonbarvertical (32/64)
1=leftlist
5=leftheader
7=leftsize
9=leftpath
11=leftinfo
13=leftdrives
15=leftpanel
18=lefttree
24=leftdrivepanel
26=lefttabs
2=rightlist
6=rightheader
8=rightsize
10=rightpath
12=rightinfo
14=rightdrives
16=rightpanel
19=righttree
25=rightdrivepanel
27=righttabs
3=active list
4=inactive list
21=curdirpanel
22=inplaceedit
23=splitpanel
28=buttonbar
29=buttonbarvertical
17=bottompanel
20=cmdline -

Yes. Parameters 15 and 16 will be useful. All is missing is the path of folders in inactive tabs. -

just this at the beginning of LoadTCFavoritesFromIniFile helps
SendMessage, 1074, 17,,, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
WinGetText, PathInTC, ahk_id %ErrorLevel%
StringTrimRight, PathInTC, PathInTC, 3
saThisFavorite := Object()
saThisFavorite[1] := "Folder"
saThisFavorite[2] := "FOCUSED folder"
saThisFavorite[3] := PathInTC
oNewItem := new this.Item(saThisFavorite, this)
this.SA.Push(oNewItem) -

Yes this works. This is not where I plan to use it. This will help in the QAP features "Reopen current folder..." and "Current Windows".
You can branch QAP from GitHub to add this code if you wish. But you'll need to add some code in case PathInTC is empty or if another item in the TC menu has the same name (this would make the remaining menu items off sync). -

I used the method described earlier to add active folders in left and right panes of Total Commander when building the Quick Access Popup "Current windows" and "Reopen a Folder" dynamic menus, and support active folder in TC for the "Reopen Current Folder in Dialog Box". At this time, re-opening the active TC folder in a file dialog box is currently not supported for some Windows Special Folders like "My Computer" or "Recycle Bin". But this can be improved in a future release.
@ma73: Thanks for pointing this technique.
The path of folders in inactive tabs are still missing but this is a good progress. I also reported this to the TC forum:
