TC always keeps directory history

[malungu]

Hi,

if I unselect "Configuration, Options, Operation, Save on Exit, Directory History", TC 7 Beta 1 still keeps it when I restart it afterwards; even if I restart the PC.

...still keeps it when I restart it afterwards

Yes, you told him to "Not save the history any more" for the future.
Any history entries written in the past are still there.

OK, then I misunderstood this functionality.

Thanks,

Any history entries written in the past are still there.

I deleted this entries manually in the wincmd.ini

I wish "delete private Data" (for History, Multirenametool, Commandline, ...) Command, like Firefox

1. Redirect those entries to a history.ini file using RedirectSection=history.ini in the appropriate sections.

2. Make a button for deleting history.ini and call it "Delete private Data".

I personally redirect the following:

Code: Select all

[Selection]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[SearchName]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[SearchIn]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[SearchText]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[RenameTemplates]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[RenameSearchFind]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[RenameSearchReplace]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[left]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[right]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[lefttabs]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[righttabs]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[Command line history]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[RightHistory]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[LeftHistory]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[MkDirHistory]
RedirectSection=history.ini

[Herr Mann]

Great, it is perfect
thanks

great tip, petermad! Didn't know about that, might be useful for other stuff too, like search templates.

Another way to do it is to use Ultra TC Editors

see this post to how to do that

@petermad
RedirectSection=history.ini
this is not documented
i was think RedirectSection can be 0 or 1 only

[petermad]

2ts4242
It is just very badly described in history.txt

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 should rather be:

Code: Select all

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

as i already pointed out in http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=101046#101046

@petermad
yes i read your post before but didn't understood what is the difference between the two description but now i understood. Thanks

I had not found this information (about RedirectSection) because it is inside the [Configuration] section in AlternateUserIni definition.

Can you document the AlternateUserIni and RedirectSection definitions before the [Configuration] section ?

RedirectSection will instruct Total Commander to redirect (or not) this section to another ini
- 0=no redirec
- 1=redirect to AlternateUserIni=
- <ininame> redirect to that specific ini

To be better clear

Best regards
