Directory History isn't cleared when unchecked

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Directory History isn't cleared when unchecked

Post by *HPA »

If you uncheck "Configuration -> Options -> Operation -> Save on Exit -> Directory History" the history already build isn't cleared when exiting TC.

With the next start the (very) old history is again loaded.

Only editing wincmd.ini can clear this list.

But then some people want/need this list, and not update it automatically but use cm_ConfigSaveDirHistory to make a backup of the History list.

I suggest a small button next to the checkbox in the configuratie window to clear the current history.

Please use the search next time this Topic was just recently discussed :!:

Workaround
use redirect=history.txt in the wincmd.ini for Historystuff
and then create a button, startmenu entry that deletes that file :D
Hoecker sie sind raus!

I did a search for the words "History" and "Exit" in the Topic titles and found none. Only a post about how to use "cm_ConfigSaveDirHistory".

Now I found them in the "Beta 7 discussion+suggestions" forum, I only looked in the "Beta 7 bug reports".

Here is a link to the topic:
