Error in english TOTALCMD.HLP for TC 7.02a (confirmed)

[kotlomoy]

I have to put UseIniInProgramDir key into wincmd.ini to make it working, even when i'm using RedirectSection for [Configuration].
Is it normal?

[m^2]

[Configuration] is the only section that cannot be redirected.

This is clearly stated in TC help. The sense of that key is to overwrite the standard order of TC INI reading behaviour.

[Configuration] is the only section that cannot be redirected.

This is wrong:

17.05.06 Added: ini section [Configuration] can now also be redirected via RedirectSection= option. The options AlternateUserIni= and UseIniInProgramDir= will always be read from the non-redirected file, though

You are wrong. Consider my wincmd.ini:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
UseIniInProgramDir=7
AlternateUserIni=user.ini
RedirectSection=Configuration.ini

[Layout]
RedirectSection=Layout.ini

[Packer]
RedirectSection=Packer.ini

[Confirmation]
RedirectSection=Confirmation.ini

[Extensions]
RedirectSection=Extensions.ini

[Shortcuts]
RedirectSection=Shortcuts.ini

[PackerPlugins]
RedirectSection=PackerPlugins.ini

[FileSystemPlugins]
RedirectSection=FileSystemPlugins.ini

[ListerPlugins]
RedirectSection=ListerPlugins.ini

[ContentPlugins]
RedirectSection=ContentPlugins.ini

It works fine, but UseIniInProgramDir=7 is no redirectable

I was late one second

This is clearly stated in TC help. The sense of that key is to overwrite the standard order of TC INI reading behaviour.

It's not stated in TOTALCMD.HLP at all. All I found about UseIniInProgramDir:

UseIniInProgramDir=0 This variable will only be read if the wincmd.ini is located in the same dir as the program.
It is the sum of the following values:
1: Use wincmd.ini in program dir if no other location is set via registry or parameters
2: Use wcx_ftp.ini in program dir if no other location is set via registry or parameters
4: Override registry settings (but not command line parameters)

So it looks like the bug in TOTALCMD.HLP?

What part don't you understand?
This variable will only be read if the wincmd.ini is located in the same dir as the program.

This part is not related to problem at all.

Ok, i'll try to explain.
Consider situation:
1. wincmd.ini is located in the same dir as the program.
2. [Configuration] section is redirected to Configuration.ini in the same dir as the program
2. UseIniInProgramDir is added into [Configuration] in Configuration.ini in the same dir as the program
In that situation, wincmd.ini is located in the same dir as the program., like TOTALCMD.HLP and you said, ok. But variable is not read, and nothing works.

It was my real problem.

Problem is: TOTALCMD.HLP not explained (like HISTORY.TXT does), that UseIniInProgramDir must be not redirected. IMHO, it's a mistake

[icfu]

You are right, the English translation is wrong! I have copy&pasted without checking it for errors, sorry...

In German TC help (which I usually use) it's more or less correctly described, though the syntax sucks as well:

Diese Variable wird nur gelesen, wenn sie sich in der Datei wincmd.ini im selben Verzeichnis wie das Programm befindet.

=> This variable will only be read if it's located in the file wincmd.ini in the same directory as the program.

You are right, the English translation is wrong!

THX for confirmation

I think that this makes it clear: UseIniInProgramDir= must be in wincmd.ini, not the redirected ini.

Hmm, actually, the subject of this topic is changed, so the name of this topic changed too.

The old name was "UseIniInProgramDir not redirected via RedirectSection". But that was no bug in TC, but in TC help.

So, there is

Error in english translation of TOTALCMD.HLP for TC 7.02a.

With one confirmation
