Total Commander

I use TC on multiple computers and i have the wincmd.ini in my dropbox. the problem with this is that also custom stuff like the currently open tabs are saved in there.

i propse to have those workspace specific data in a separat ini that would not be shared.

the wincmd.ini should store just "static" configurations that are just done once and will not change often.

any chance something like this could be implemented.

Hi, you can do it manually even now. See http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=34358 for a similar request. Basically, you can have a shared wincmd.ini and redirect all user-specific sections from it to another file stored locally.

Another possibility is to have all of TC in your Dropbox in portable mode, which implies you only have to maintain a single installation and redirect sections like this:

RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Settings\%COMPUTERNAME%-History.ini

This way you have the possibility to maintain separate settings for history etc per computer, but you can also have some global settings, that are shared by all instances:

Redirectsection=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Settings\Plugins.ini

Moreover, all those ini files are nicely tucked away in a subdirectory, leaving the TC folder a bit less cluttered.
