Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
Greetings (again) Earthlings
I hope "all is well" or at least "well enough"
I previously (years ago) demo'd/configured 7.55a ...
Not too long ago I tried to demo the latest TotalCommander;
however, none of my previous customizations
seemed to "port" to the latest ToC version ...
I would like to buy a ToC license;
however, I also would like to port
all my previous customizations ...
Would help be available ???
Please reply/advise ...
Thank you & regards

Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
Most of your settinge are stored in the wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini files, but depending on choices during installation of TC these files can be read from different places. It is important that you put your old wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini files in the right place. You can see where these files are loaded from in TC's menu:" Help" -> "About Windows Commander" or you can write CD %COMMANDER_INI% in TC's command line and press Enter - then you will be taken to the currently used wincmd.ini file.
You can see more about other files to transfer from your old installation here: https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php?title=Backup

Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
Greetings (again)
I am (again) having those (same) problems ...
When I installed I specified for the WinCMD.ini to be in the ProgramDirectory ...
I copied (over) my existing WinCMD.ini AND
updated the paths therein ...
I put my existing WCMD_Eng.mnu in the Language subdir ...
1) The TCx64 install does not read/use the WCMD_Eng.mnu ...
(My custom menus do not show up ...)
2) The TCx64 install does not read/use my customized shortcuts
(which are in the WinCMD.ini file ...)
3) Even if I go into Options & specify SPACE
is to show the ContextMenu,
EVEN that NEVER takes (hold) ...
not immediately & not even after a save settings, close & reopen ...
PLEASE REPLY/ADVISE !!!

Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
Put this parameter in the [Configuration] section of your wincmd.ini file:
UseIniInProgramDir=7
Make sure that you have installed TC in a directory, where you have write privileges (that would NOT be the case for C:\Program Files\)
Always restart your TC when you have made manually changes to the .ini files (and other setting files)
Please check via TC's menu:" Help" -> "About Windows Commander" that TC is using the wincmd.ini that you expect.
If you don't have write priviliges to TC' program folder, then your .ini files should be put in the %APPDATA%\Ghisler folder
%APPDATA% = "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming"

Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
Greetings ... & thanx (again)
However, (almost) nothing made any difference
I checked/confirmed under the Help menu
that the correct location/s were being used ...
So, I moved/copied the "Install" from Program Files
to my PortPFs "install" directory,
updated the ini file AND
edited the Win10x64 Ghisler Registry entries ...
So, now the remaining problem is that
my customized WCMD_Eng in the Language SubDir
is NOT being read/used ...
The location is properly pathed in the ini file ..
Hope we can solve this !!!

Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
So excactly where is your TC located right now - and is that a directory where you have write access, without elevated rights?
Where is your wincmd.ini now located?
do you have UseIniInProgramDir=7 in the [Configuration] section of your wincmd.ini - and only ONE instance of that line?
What is the value of the parameters: LanguageIni= and Mainmenu= in your wincmd.ini - and do you only have ONE instance of each?
Have you checked that your wcmd_eng.mnu is the modified one you think it is?
Do you also have a wcmd_eng.lng file?
You do not need full path to your wcmd_eng.mnu file in the configuration, as long as it is placed in the LANGUAGE subdir.

Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
The Install was in C:\Program Files\AUPFs\TotalCMDx64
& is now in C:\PortPFs\AUPFs\TotalCMDx64 ...
As far as I know, YES, the non-elevated write-access is no longer an issue ...
All of the other problems from being in C:\Program Files are gone ...
What else could/should I do to confirm this ???
I've looked at the Advanced Security Tab/s ...
WinCmd.ini is (also) in C:\PortPFs\AUPFs\TotalCMDx64 ...
YES=>
[Configuration]
InstallDir=C:\PortPFs\AUPFs\TotalCMDx64
UseIniInProgramDir=7
Only one MainMenu entry =>
There is NO LanguageIni entryMainmenu=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Language\WCMD_Eng.mnu
YES
The Install did NOT create a wcmd_eng.lng
Please reply/advise
Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
Hmm, not that is should matter, but try and replace:
Mainmenu=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Language\WCMD_Eng.mnu
with:
Mainmenu=wcmd_eng.mnu
and then restart TC.
Also just to try that TC actually uses C:\PortPFs\AUPFs\wincmd.ini - notice the date/time of the file - make a change of some setting in the configuration, restart TC and see if the date/time has changed.
Otherwise , the only explanation is that your wcmd_eng.mnu file is corrupt - could you perhaps zip it and upload it somewhere for us to check.
Mainmenu=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Language\WCMD_Eng.mnu

Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
By any chance, is there more than one [Configuration] section in the wincmd.ini?

Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
Sure, however I'll just mention that
7.55a NEVER had any problems using my wcmd_eng.mnu ...

The file you show here above is an excact copy on wcmd_eng.mnu that comes with TC 9.20, 9.21 9.22 and 9.22a - it has 5 more items than the wcmd_eng.mnu that comes with TC 7.55a. It has 1 item less than the current wcmd_eng.mnu for TC 9.50, 9.51 and 10.00 beta 2
So unless you have customized the TC 7.55a wcmd_eng.mnu file to match the TC 9.20 wcmd_eng.mnu file - I don't think this is your customized file

I've updated the CODE section in that post;
however, my customized wcmd_eng.mnu IS IN the Language SubDir
and TC 9x64 is NOT using my customized .mnu file ...
Re: Port (seamlessly) from 7.55a ???
After using the new code above, I can inform that the code works OK, and shows all the extra keyboard shortcuts etc, that you have added.
Could you try with some otther .mnu file from the installer like wcmd_deu.mnu - to see if that works.
What is the size in bytes of your wcmd_wng.mnu file? It should be 5072 bytes or maybe 5074 bytes if you have a blank line in the end - if not the file may be in the wrong format.
