History list - number of remembered folders

Post by *jcmn »

Hello all

Just one simple question:

How to set the number of remembered folders in the history list?
I can't find any information about this.

This isn't currently configurable, sorry.

Yes, you can put a line in section [LeftHistory] and [RightHistory] like this:

RedirectSection=c:\path\tchistory.ini

Then put the sections in that file with directories which you want to see in the history (or use an empty file), and make the file read only.

Why not just uncheck "Directory history" on the options page of the configuration dialog?

One more option:
RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_PATH%\NOT_EXISTING_PATH\dir.ini.
First, TC will search for the file. If it's not there, TC will try to create it. But won't create NOT_EXISTING_PATH directory - so the process will fail. :D
