redirect [Configuration] section

[Sir_SiLvA]

• I agree with your remarks. In example : not only plugins have issues with redirections… Tools have too !
- Just try to use TC Plugman with plugins sections redirected into covering INIs…

Then the Tools have to be updated too - it isnt hard to impliment the redirection into TC Plugman ie...
And till v7 final the Plugin/Tool authors should be able to update there tools/plugins...

I don't see the big deal. Nobody forces anyone to redirect, so if your tools and plugins don't work with it, then don't redirect.

I am sure that most of the serious plugin/tool writers will implement support for redirection soon.

The only problem occurs after a while if you still have old plugins that are not upated anymore and don't work with redirection.

I have redirected all my plugins (about 30) and so far I don't have any problems. But off course, that is no consolation for those whose favourite plugins doesn't work with redirection.

Please tell me what to do in my tool: when I see
RedirectSection=<Filename without path>

what path do I need to substitute here to get that file? %Commander_path%? Path to wincmd.ini? Please specify this...

[Lefteous]

Yes and what about relative paths?

[Alextp]

2Lefteous
Please, no relative paths!
If path doesn't contain '\', I can just append some path; what to do if path is smth like '..\Plugins.ini' ... path expanding will be hard...

I didn't request anything. This has been just a question. I guess we have to support whatever is supported by TC.

AFAIK if RedirectSection=<Filename without path> is present then TC will save the file in the same wincmd.ini folder so you can get the path from %Commander_INI%

Yes, this is correct.

[ts4242]

And what about relative paths?

currently relative path is not supported
try this

Code: Select all

[layout]
redirectsection=..\layout.ini

do some changes in options layout page, TC creates layout.ini in the root of C drive although TC is installed in D:\totalcmd_pb71
when restart TC it will not recognize ..\layout.ini and it will load its default layout settings

Ok, good. There is less work for me (with TC Plugman).

This line in history.txt in TC7pb2 still needs to be changed:

28.02.06 Added: wincmd.ini: In each section except for [Configuration], an entry RedirectSection= will instruct tc to redirect(or not) this section to other ini: Values: 0=no redirect, 1=redirect to AlternateUserIni=, <ininame> redirect to that specific ini

the last part of it is nonsense.

Should be something like:

Values: 0=no redirect, 1=redirect to AlternateUserIni, <ininame>=redirect to that specific ini

[ghisler(Author)]

Why is it nonsense? It does exactly what is described here!

[Flint]

It does exactly what is described here!

It's the form of the description that is the problem, not the description itself.
Current:

Values: 0=no redirect, 1=redirect to AlternateUserIni=, <ininame> redirect to that specific ini

Suggested:

Values: 0=no redirect, 1=redirect to AlternateUserIni, <ininame>=redirect to that specific ini

[ghisler(Author)]

Well, the wincmd.ini entry is
AlternateUserIni=something

and not

<ininame>=something...
