TC ignores /i command line switch if IniFileName parameter is present in registry.
I wanted to test "clean" install by specifying /i in command line, but TC ignored it until I removed IniFileName from the registry.
Tested 8.0 and 8.1 (32 and 64 bit) on Windows 7 64 bit.

P.S. Seems like TC totally ignores /i (even if IniFileName is not present in the registry). Am I doing something wrong? Can someone try it?

/i=name.ini works fine here.
Tested under Windows 7 x64 with TC 8.01 x86 and x64

You have to use full path to the .ini file

The problem was that I used colon instead of equal sign Smile

C:\TotalCmd\TotalCmd.exe /i:c:\TotalCmd\config\qqq32.ini
->
C:\TotalCmd\TotalCmd.exe /i=c:\TotalCmd\config\qqq32.ini

Christian, you may consider this as a suggestion.
Moderators, please move the topic.

Don't think that it should be supported in a ten ways. All TC parameters work with the equal sign.

Come on, guys, don't be funny asking not to do this because it will not make you any harm. If you ask not to do this, be consistent, ask to remove configurability at all because it allows to fit TC for every user.

Console apps show error message if they cannot recognize the param but TC just ignored it, that's why it was confusing. I think it's not only easier to implement (too strong word for such feature, isn't it?) colon recognition, but also more user friendly, than showing error message.

Just imagine, you're solving some interesting global problem (like saving the world, for example), you're full of momentous ideas, you're excited, your thoughts are fast as lightning and then you stumble over some minor thing and have to come down to earth, your inspiration is lost... Smile

Anyway, this does not mean that I will insist on implementing it but I'm allowed to make suggestions, isn't it? Smile

I completely agree with this suggestion and would like to add one more additional way in addition to the equal sign and colon - colon, followed by a dash followed by a capital P.

Not sure about colon but many console apps I've used had no problems with spaces, so:

BTW some apps don't use any separator at all, so following may be useful too. Laughing
