Co-operation with Total Commander

Embird Embroidery Software Tutorial

The following tutorial explains how to use the Total Commander application in co-operation with Embird for copying files from hard disk to removable USB key memory. Before you start to use the "Launch Total Commander" button in Embird, you must first download and install the Total Commander application to your PC.

Note: Total Commander is a stand alone file manager for Windows similar to Windows Explorer. It is developed by Christian Ghisler, who is not affiliated with Embird. More information, demo, registration and support for Total Commander are available at http://www.ghisler.com

1 - Run Embird, it will start in "Manager" mode.

2 - If you are going to launch the Total Commander from Embird for the very first time, you must specify the location of this application so that Embird is capable of launching it. Select "Options -> Plug-ins Paths" menu, this will display a dialog box on the screen, in which you can specify the path to the Total Commander application (Picture No. 1). Click "OK" button to confirm the new settings.
