[solved] [TC9r1] Undocumented wincmd.ini entry

[petermad]

The new FirstTimeIconLib= parameter is not documented in the Help file (other FirstTimeXXX parameter are documented).

CommentPreferredFormat=
SetEncoding=äö.do.not.remove
is also not documented.

DrivesExportUpcase=-1
DrivesShowUpcase=-1
should be set to =1 instead -1

SetEncoding=äö.do.not.remove
is also not documented.

Here is the appropriate information:
wincmd.ini: 'SetEncoding=äö.do.not.remove'

This is done because the Windows ini file functions do not support UTF-8 Unicode. If notepad saves the file as UTF-8 by mistake, it will cause a lot of problems.

I chose these two bytes because they give valid character(s) in all encodings, including double byte encodings like Chinese, but NOT in UTF-8.

the only reason of using these two bytes in this parameter is preventing opening and saving INI file in UTF-8 encoding (these two bytes represent invalid UTF-8 sequence) which is not a valid encoding for INI files.

DrivesExportUpcase=-1
DrivesShowUpcase=-1
should be set to =1 instead -1

It should rather be:
DrivesExportUpcase=0
DrivesShowUpcase=0

Since neither is set by default.

It is not the question what it means - but that it is not mentioned in the help.chm file

In [Buttonbar]
DefaultLib=
IconDll_Main.BAR=
IconDll_vertical.bar=
is also not documented.

Descriptions for:
FirstTimeIconLib=1
DrivesExportUpcase=-1
DrivesShowUpcase=-1
SetEncoding=äö.do.not.remove
DefaultLib=
IconDll_Main.BAR=
IconDll_vertical.bar=

Are now all added/corrected in TC9rc2

Thanks! Btw, these two options really use -1 by default:
DrivesExportUpcase=-1
DrivesShowUpcase=-1
