suggestion for wincmd.ini

[Tsunulukai]

It would be helpful to have the possibility to set and use variables inside the config file...

eg :
set Pack=c:\util\wincmd\plugins\pack

so that in the packer section we could use
[Packer]
ACE=%Pack%\ACE32.EXE
ARJ=%Pack%\Arj.exe
LHA=%Pack%\Lha.exe
RAR=%Pack%\Rar.exe

this would also be helpful when moving a config file to another computer...

The syntax I used was just a sample, just to give an idea...

Forgive me if I misunderstand your request, but as you've got the dir in the (systemwide) path (or environment variable, if you wish, you shouldn't need the %path% infront of the exe's.
i.e. this should do: ACE=ACE32.EXE That should make TC search for ace32.exe utilizing the environment variables...

[Tsunulukai]

Well, I should have used another syntax for the variables... as I wasn't talking about environment variables

The Idea is just to set variables in the beginning of the config file so that it's easier to copy the config file to another computer, without having to modify every line pointing to a specific location

Well, may be it's a good idea if you store all your packers (or pluging etc.) in the same directory, otherwise it hardly has any sense.
Talking about a paths, the thing I really need is relative paths support to run Commander with all supporting stuff from CD easily.[/face]
