TC 6.55 and %Commander_INI%

[ts4242]

today i discovered that TC 6.55 set a new enivroment variable %Commander_INI% it is refere to the current Wincmd.ini used by TC
it is greate addition, i returned to History.txt but didn't find any thing about this new addition Why?

%Commander_INI% refer only to Wincmd.ini, what about wcx_ftp.ini? is there %Commander_ftpINI% but not implemented yet?
hope so

How did you find it?

<Edit>
Ah, yes! Silly question

[sqa_wizard]

It seemed to be in experimental state.

Using an TC instance started from USB stick in addition to my desktop instance, shows correct values for %COMMANDER_PATH% but %COMMANDER_INI% of USB- instance is wrong (points to Desktop-instance location).

Help/About dialog shows correct values for every instance.

Yes, it's experimental.

I cannot confirm that. How is the ini path defined for your USB stick installation? Did you really open the DOS box from within THAT specific Totalcmd instance?

[sqa_wizard]

My fault : I used 2 different versions.

The desktop instance is 6.55pb2 while USB version still has 6.54a

With this mixed environment it only inherits the environment of its parent without any chance to update it.

How is the ini path defined for your USB stick installation?

I start the USB-instance from within the desktop instance via "Launch TC" located in the USB root.

Code: Select all

[LaunchTC]
CmdLine=.\_DirectRun\TotalCmd\TotalCmd.EXE /i=.\WINCMD.INI /f=.\wcx_ftp.ini

At the started instance I enter CMD at its commandline.
At the DOS box I enter SET

Code: Select all

COMMANDER_INI=C:\WinTools\TotalCmd\wincmd.ini
COMMANDER_PATH=L:\_DirectRun\TotalCmd

Using both 6.55pb2 versions it works fine

What about Wcx_ftp.ini?

Ah, I see - 6.54a didn't set the variable...

What about Wcx_ftp.ini?

Programs shouldn't mess around with that. Why do you need it?

It can be very useful for ts4242's Ultra TC Configuration Editor.

And for all other TC tweak tools! It is a must to have such an environment var.

for the same %Commander_INI% reason, isn't Wcx_ftp.ini is TC's INI file?

[vserd]

if wincmd.ini in C:\windows folder %commander_ini% show only file name. Its not correct. (in other cases show a full path).
If use %commander_ini% from plugin, best solution always use full path.

Confirmed.
