[giulia]

Hi

i have total commander installed and the same version portable for my usb stick

is there a way to save different preferences and switch between them?

for example icon size , font size and so on

thanks

There is a commandline parameter for the ini file that shall be used as configuration. It should be described in the help file.

To be more specific: Use different ini files with names you like and start TC with the needed one.

You may set read-only flag to inhibit modifications.

Not on default, only with work around, e.g.

- add some button to TC to start another TC with another INI

or

- start TC via a DOS batch, where you can provide
a list to choose which config to launch, like:
[face=timesnewroman]Choose TC Config
Press A - launch with Work.ini
Press B - launch with Alternative.ini
Press C - launch with temp.ini[/face]

Example LaunchTC.cmd

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
REM Put this _LaunchTC.cmd in your TC folder and use this to launch TC.
REM Stefan, 2015-06-19, v0.001

REM =============================================================
REM GotoMenu=1 means: Keep the Menu open untill X is pressed.
REM GotoMenu=0 means: Close the Menu on succesfully launching TC.
SET GotoMenu=1
