-''​Tutorial under development''​+This is simple: drag "​DropIt.exe"​ to an empty space on //Total Commander//'s button bar and a shortcut is created. Now right-click on this new button and select ​''​Change...''. In the dialog box type ''​%P%S''​ to the Parameters field. This will pass paths of selected files to DropIt.

 +Now if you select files in //Total Commander// and then click on this button, DropIt will ask you for a profile and will sort your files. 
 + 
 +To further polish this button, you can specify the profile to be used. Add your profile name at the beginning of the Parameter field, so it should read ''​-MyProfile %P%S''​. Now you can create buttons for your most used profiles and use them without ​DropIt running in the background. 
 + 
 +**Tip:** instead of using absolute path to DropIt, you can use //Total Commander//'''​%COMMANDER_PATH%''​ variable in the path (only if DropIt and //Total Commander// are on the same drive):
