Two questions (drive button & subfolder size)

Post by *sammy »

Question 1:

If I visit some directry, say C:\windows\system32, and then visit some other directories in other drive, say D:\work etc., now I click on the drive button for C (by doing so I wish to go to the root of drive C:), it shows C:\windows\system32. This is typical DOS prompt behavior. I wonder if (or how) I can set it DEFAULT that whenever I click the drive button the root directory of that drive appears. [I don't want click button \ every time I click a drive button.]

Question 2:

TC has a nice feature that one can see the size of directory in the "full" view window (instead of the string <dir>). The key-combo is alt+shift+enter. I wonder if (or how) I can set DEFAULT that the "full" view shows the size of all, including files and subdirectories in the current directory, instead of the string <dir> for subdirs.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone

Question 1:

Change (or add) in wincmd.ini line in [Configuration] section:
AlwaysToRoot=1

Question 2:

It would take too much time to count all the sizes everytime you switch the directory so... there is no such possibility.

Thanks.

Question 1: where can I find the list/explaination for all the setting entries? My wincmd.ini doesn't have "AlwaysToRoot".

Question 2 was just curious. :)

Press F1 in TC and go to section 4.b
Just add this line in your ini file.

Gotcha. Thanks again.

I am new to TC (only 2 hours). :). But start to love it at once.
