Workdir - working with directories and commands

Our tool “Workdir” is one of the oldest tools we use. We have not been navigating back and forth between directories for over ten years now. We press a button and open our directories directly. We can also start executing commands with one click. With another button we directly start the command line. And sometimes we directly start a command inside the directory. This makes working with directories much easier.

In the published version, you can theoretically specify an unlimited number of directories. Up to six individual commands can be called. When the program starts, it checks whether the directory exists. If not, it will be colored red and no actions will be available.

You find our tool Workdir helpful?
We are very happy to invest more time in further development. However, for this we need your support.

Installation and configuration

Save the downloaded workdir.exe in a destination folder of your choice and start the program. Via the configuration (tab Configuration) you can specify your directories and store up to six commands.

Please note that in the current version you can only specify the directory itself as a placeholder. The examples for CMD, Git Bash and Windows Explorer should help you to implement your own calls. Once you click Save, the commands and directories are immediately available in the Directories tab.

Want to get a confirmation before the command is executed? Check the Confirmation box and you will be prompted before the command is executed.

Please always specify the directories using the variable {directory}. This will be replaced and assembled accordingly when the commands are executed. Of course you can also specify executable files or shell scripts which will be called accordingly. This has not been necessary for ourselves so far.
