Deactivation of directory and filename history

Post by *funkymonk »

Hi There,

When creating a new directory (F7) or file (Shift-F4), TC maintains a list of recently used names as templates.
I suggest to allow the deactivation of the automatic maintenance of these lists (but just specify fixed entries in the ini file).

What do you think?

Not necessary.for me.
You can delete entries from this list by using Shift-Del
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)
TC 11.03 x64 / x86
Everything 1.5.0.1371a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.2, Listary Pro 6.3.0.69

It's alwas possible to redirect any section of wincmd.ini with RedirectSection key to another INI file. When you make that other file read-only, TC won't save anything new to this file, essentially giving you the intended result. The sections relevant for your case are MkDirHistory and NewFileHistory.

Code: Select all

;windmcd.ini

[NewFileHistory]
RedirectSection=%commander_path%\Data\Profile\Settings\newfilehistory.ini

[MkDirHistory]
RedirectSection=%commander_path%\Data\Profile\Settings\mkdirhistory.ini

Good idea.
This way I can even create some templates in the redirected file and prevent them from being replaced.

Thx and BR
