Missing name of ini file in title bar

Post by *BeWo »

Total Commander is being used with different ini files according projects, I am working on. I am running several TC instances with different ini files simultaneously.
Unfortunately it is not possible to see at a glance in the Windows task bar, which TC session it is, when you move the mouse over the TC icons in the task bar. Currently I see e.g. "[2] Total Commander 9.0a - Peter Smith"

It would be very helpful, if the name of the ini file would be in the title bar.

I look Forward to getting a positive answer.

You can use different icon libraries for different INI files so TC icons in taskbar will be different.

Currently, there are only workarounds:


- You could use the Tooltip-option of one of the buttons (the far left, e.g.) to add an description.


- Also, since you can modify the menu yourself (Lang\*.mnu file),
you could add an top level menu item, which name would be an hint.


- Another way would be to utilize a AutoHotkey script to modify the Title bar content.
(let that script read the current actual %Commander_INI% environment variable)
