Maybe you are using font that doesn't contain Chinese, try to use different font, if this doesn't help, is your menu file saved in Ansi or other encoding?

Please add an option to ask about &COMMANDER_PATH% after loading new INI files.

It almost costed me a TC data loss (I had backup, luckily)!

The problem is: when you've got couple TC installations and one of them is running then even if you choose wincmd.ini which stores other TC settings, the file which really gets changed is from the first one.

I cannot reproduce, I tested with Configuration Editor, the changes always saved to the already opened wincmd.ini/wcx_ftp.ini

Which editor you are talking about?

Configuration Editor.

There has to be something to reproduce... How did you start CE? From running TC ehich is different from the one for settings change?

I did
1- start TC from G:\TC1\Totalcmd.exe
2- start another TC from G:\TC2\Totalcmd.exe
3- start Config Editor from first instance so it opens G:\TC1\Wincmd.ini <> G:\TC1\Wcx_ftp.ini
4- Open G:\TC2\Wincmd.ini <> G:\TC2\Wcx_ftp.ini
5- Do some changes and save
6- changes saved to G:\TC2\Wincmd.ini <> G:\TC2\Wcx_ftp.ini NOT G:\TC1\Wincmd.ini <> G:\TC1\Wcx_ftp.ini

It works the way you described but I can't get it right when:

1. start d:\totalcmd\totalcmd.exe
2. start Config Editor from it (via menu item using em_ command)
3. open g:\worktc\wincmd.ini in CE (almost each section of this file is using RedirectSection parameter with %COMMANDER_PATH% as part of its path),
4. edit anything and save,
5. changes are saved to d:\totalcmd\ini\XXX (where XXX is redirected file) instead of g:\worktc\ini\XXX.

It might be either temporary nuisance or problem with %COMMANDER_PATH% in RedirectSections. The last is more likely IMHO. I think that without actually calling second TC instance, mentioned %% variable is not set to g:\worktc thus giving described problem.

There is nothing wrong when I use no redirection at all.

P.S. My wincmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

I see, %COMMANDER_PATH% is resolved at program starts and remains till close it.

BTW: if you start TC using this command "d:\totalcmd\totalcmd.exe /i=g:\worktc\wincmd.ini", TC will use ini files inside "d:\totalcmd\ini\" NOT "g:\worktc\ini\"

%COMMANDER_PATH% resolved as it should be not as you expected, I think you have to be aware of this problem!

I know about command line parameters but I don't want to have running TC instance while I am editing its INI files. First I feel strange about it. Second: some properties might get overwritten on close. The last thing: I am preparing my TC for work environment and I cannot use /i approach because its main directory contains many plugins/applications which cannot be used commercially and needs to be removed. That would break my home version completely. I know I could use that parameter but I should also change redirections from %COMMANDER_PATH% to %COMMANDER_INI% then.

Short story made long: I've wanted to get whole transfer done as quick as it possible just by copying my primary TC to other partition, cutting off tools I am not allowed to use and configuring few settings only. Being TC addicted, all of it was meant to be done without switching "home TC" off. Because it led to problems I had to launch second TC after all.

Any chance to check InstallDir parameter on Open then? It shouldn't be hard to implement but could solve this issue. Optionally, of course

I suggest this dirty solution, run TC "g:\worktc\totalcmd.exe", run Configuration Editor from it then close TC, by this way you will pass the correct %COMMANDER_PATH% to Configuration Editor.

I will try!

If I try to import an old type data file - e.g. German.cedf I get an error - so far so good.

If I do not load a valid data file afterwards, but just close the Configuration Editor after a while, then I am not able to open it again - I just get the same error message, and then the program terminates.

The only way to be able to start the Configuration Editor, is to change the ini-setting StartUpDataFile= by hand.
