"go back" skipping steps sometimes (was about HistoryCut)

Post by *bagou01 »

Hi,
i don't know why but when i use "go back" may it be alt-left on keyboard or the assigned shortcuts on my mouse, very often TC skips a step.
hard to explain but i'll try.
In explorer, when i go deep in a directory structure, going "back" just goes to the directory up which is what i want.
In TC, sometimes it goes, not to the directory up, but to the directory i was in two steps before.

For example:
if i go to A, then A/AA then back to A then to B then B/BB and THEN click "go back", it doesent send me to B which i would want to, but back to A/AA i'm not clear i know but i don't know how to explain it better :(

if by luck you understand, do you know how to chane that?
thanks a lot !

Can you try this mod:

ghisler(Author) wrote: 2019-11-01, 15:42 UTC Please try this new option (TC9.50) in wincmd.ini section [Configuration]
HistoryCut=1

It should handle the history similar to TC 9.22.



HTH?

Glad it works for you.


Just search for 'HistoryCut=' and read yourself...
