Feature Request: Change Directory config in separate file

Post by *beernutz »

Would be nice to be able to split out the Change Directory Menu (Ctrl-D) into a separate .ini file.

Like the FTP entries were moved to their own file.

Would also be nice to have the history settings (entries typed into the command line Ctrl-E, etc.) saved into a separate .ini file as well.

Since i use SugarSync.com to keep my TC install customizations in sync across the machines i use, maybe an option to store these .INI folders in c:\tc\conf\%machinename%\ or some such?

This is really the only pain i have left when using TC on multiple machines.

Thanks again for a WONDERFUL utility. I live in TC all day, every day.

Hi, you can use "RedirectSection=" to redirect specific sections in wincmd.ini to different files. For example, this is how I redirectedt panel history:

Code: Select all

[RightHistory] 
RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_INI%\..\wincmd_history.ini
[LeftHistory] 
RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_INI%\..\wincmd_history.ini

You guys rock! Thank you!

[EDIT]
ok, this is awesome:

Code: Select all

[DirMenu]
RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_PATH%\conf\%COMPUTERNAME%\dir_menu.ini
That works Perfectly!

Thanks again!

Now, imagine the possibilities of redirecting other sections.

Different installations sharing a section, editing files separately without having to scroll through the long wincmd.ini.. :)
