Multiple Layouts possible?

[mbillig02]

Is there a plugin or way to have multiple layouts?

I find myself setting drives, tabs and other settings then needing to change them to work on something else. It would be nice to save the layout, switch to another and switch back.

There is no direct way to switch between different layouts, but due to the fact layouts are saved to the wincmd.ini file you may switch the ini files like this:
Create one button with command:

Code: Select all

"%COMMANDER_EXE%" /i="%temp%\layout1.ini"

Create another button with command:

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_EXE% /i="%temp%\layout2.ini"

Note:
You may add a line to the according ini file

- to show an info at TC title

Code: Select all

[Configuration] 
TitleExtraText=$ Layout 1

- to use a different default bar

Code: Select all

[Buttonbar]
Buttonbar=%temp%\Layout1.BAR

This way you have a certain layout for each project or task type.

Instead of %temp% you may use any other path, but you see the method ...

Well, if it's mostly about tabs and drives, saving the tabs (on both sides) as .tab file should help. This can be done by right-click on the tabs themselves.

I'm working with multiple "layout" using custom view mode to set tab column, order... I also have user command as autorun for each View to load tabs Left/Right.
Having complete ini file switch is even more efficient specially using redirection for plugin settings in each wincmd_layoutXXX.ini you can also have dedicated ignore list ......
