For the tree::I will try to change this behaviour in TC 7.0.
Ok, thanks.
The second problem you mention cannot be fixed. TC doesn't remember a base directory separately for each plugin, just for ALL plugin types together. It then searches below that base directory for other wlx plugins when you install a new wlx, and assume that this is the correct location for wlx.
Er... It seems that we misunderstood each other. The problem is not in remembering or not remembering folders by TC, but in different behaviour of it in the very similar situations.
Here are the situations:
1. We have TC installed into C:\tc\ folder and have the following wincmd.ini file:
[Configuration]
UseIniInProgramDir=7
pluginbasedir=C:\tc\Plugins
[ListerPlugins]
0=C:\tc\Plugins\Lister Plugins\IEView\ieview.wlx
[PackerPlugins]
sqx=C:\tc\plugins\Packer Plugins\Total SQX\TotalSQX.wcx
[FileSystemPlugins]
Virtual Disks=C:\tc\Plugins\FileSystem Plugins\VirtualDisk\VirtualDisk.wfx
[ContentPlugins]
0=C:\tc\Plugins\Content Plugins\DirSizeCalc\DirSizeCalc.wdx
(all the plugins named here are really installed, and there are no more any plugin files in any subfolder of TC - only the named above ones are present!). Then we start this TC instance and open some plugin archive, e.g. wlx_synplus_2_7_1.rar. TC suggests to install it into
C:\tc\plugins\Lister Plugins\SynPlus
2. Now let's take the very similar configuration file (TC is still in C:\tc\ folder):
[Configuration]
UseIniInProgramDir=7
pluginbasedir=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins
[ListerPlugins]
0=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\Lister Plugins\IEView\ieview.wlx
[PackerPlugins]
sqx=%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\Packer Plugins\Total SQX\TotalSQX.wcx
[FileSystemPlugins]
Virtual Disks=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\FileSystem Plugins\VirtualDisk\VirtualDisk.wfx
[ContentPlugins]
0=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\Content Plugins\DirSizeCalc\DirSizeCalc.wdx
Now run TC with this INI file and again, try to go into wlx_synplus_2_7_1.rar archive. And now TC suggests to install the plugin into:
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\SynPlus
I don't understand why in first situation TC automatically founds that my WLX-plugins are installed into the
Lister Plugins subfolder of the Plugins folder, while in the second situation it does not, and suggests the default subfolder name
wlx? The
only difference of these two situations is that in first one I use absolute paths, and in second one I use %COMMANDER_PATH% - and that's all! All other files and settings are the same. I don't see why this could not be fixed (my supposition is just that TC does not parse %COMMANDER_PATH% when auto-detecting the plugins subfolders).
