Good morning,• That's a suggestion related to this MESSAGE in the French section.
- There, the user Freddy told that he has not any [Lister] section in his <wincmd.ini> that a priori seemed incredible
- He had a [ListerPlugins] section though, that darkened the issue a bit more…
• Actually, after that Paul Vansumsen has performed some tests, we discovered that Freddy had never changed anything
in his Lister settings (!) from the time he installed TC, thus the section was not created !
• I guess that at least that section (empty) might be always created in any fresh INI
to avoid such unsuccessful searches and wasted time.
- Probably some other (empty) missing sections could be written too…
The current behaviour -to save some KiB- is obsolete and to make cheeseparing economies.
- For instance, in XnView the default INI contains ALL sections and entries having a GUI, the sections in the file
and the entries in every section are sorted in alphabetical order,
and NEVER messed up when the user changes some option.
Unfortunately, that's another story in the TC INIs… Everytime you change any option, it's moved from its alpha. location, and added unsorted at the end of the section,
so the long work to sort the file nicely by hand is lost and to remake endlessly, example :
• I ought say that despite its shortened title, this topic is not limited to the lack of default empty section¦s,[Configuration]

but includes the above-mentioned messy management of the writing in the INIs.
- That is important for the ß-testers and advanced users who help to the public ß-test
to spot the sections and entries in their INI files easily and quickly…
• Please, should it be possible to improve that in a next major version ? TIA !
