Disable "New folder" history? [MkDirHistory]

[chea]

Is there a way to disable this?

Just add parameter RedirectSection=* to your section [MkDirHistory] and restart TC to disable adding new items to that section.
Help section 4.b will help to understand why it works.

That works for me, thanks.

Seems to me that the behavior of RedirectSection=* is undocumented/undefined. Like other invalid entries like:
RedirectSection=.
RedirectSection=\
RedirectSection=|


If the null device is installed one could also use:
RedirectSection=nul

Alternatively one could redirect to a file which is readonly. For example create a 0 byte file named "section redirect readonly.ini" in the folder where your main ini is stored and change the file attributes of this file to make the file readonly. Then use:
RedirectSection=section redirect readonly.ini

You can also use the last method to create a fixed prefined history.


My suggestion for Christian is to implement a new value -1 indicating that a section is disabled. So people could use:
RedirectSection=-1

white,
Yes, it is undocumented, you only need to specify invalid path to a file.
