How to generate a valid .tab file from wincmd.ini

[Balderstrom]

I'm trying to break down the current left/right tab that is stored in a different format than all of the others.

Code: Select all

[left]
path=c:\
ShowAllDetails=2
SpecialView=0
show=1
negative Sortorder=0
userspec=>LargeFiles
sortorder=0

Code: Select all

[lefttabs]
0_path=::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
0_caption=$
0_options=6|0|0|0|0|1|0

I figured the first options flag is related to the current view:

0: Brief Mode
1: Details Mode
2: Tree Folder
3: ????
4: Comments (also sets SpecialView=1)
5: Thumbnail (also sets Specialview=2)
6: The first CustomColumn View

The second options field, appears to be which tabstop is being sorted.
The third options flag: whether the tabstop is reversed order.

Questions:
1) What are the option flags 4 thru 7.
2) Are there key names that are related to fields 4 thru 7?
3) Can the first position of the options key have a value of 3? and if so what would cause it?

Option 6 is the locked status:
1 locked
2 locked with dir change

Setting the other options to 1 didn't result in any obvious change...

Value 3 in option 1 seems to let you keep the current view. If this is intended no idea.

And to conclude, fields 4 and 5 are used for tabs that display archive contents only. Field 4 contains the number of symbols in the full path to the archive (e.g. 11 if c:\test.zip is opened); field 5 is the archive format (1: zip, 2: arj, etc.).
