TC 9.0 randomly loses my tab settings

Post by *ShootHere »

Had a look for this but I couldn't find anything current that seemed to relate

Running TC 9.0 portable and it randomly loses or forgets the saved tabs for one or the other (or both) tabs. Occasionally it loses the bar settings.

I usually have a handful of tabs setup in each pane for the directories I routinely work with, and because its a set and forget thing its a pain (pane?) to have to set it up again whenever they disappear

This is largely nuisance factor, but I'm curious to know what could be causing it...

any ideas?

Running TC 9.0 portable
Do you run it directly from a harddisk, an USB stick, a NAS or a network drive?
Do you automatically start TC with your login?

Loosing a configuration is often related to a timeout while reading the wincmd.ini file.
TC uses the default instead.

You may save your tab setting to a tab file and load it again in case they get lost.

runs from an SD card in my laptop and its not set to start on login (though it is on my desktop and I've never had an issue there).

I guess I'll just have to keep a backup of my settings...

It's caused by default power management settings in Windows. When SD card is inactive for some time, the system turns it off.
So either change power settings in Windows or keep open tab with SD card in TC…
