Settings not saved on exit (explicit save works ok)

[fpostma]

When changing tabstops, exiting totalcommander does not save the settings (have it set to NOT minimize on close). Explicit save works fine, ruling out protection issues.

Windows 7 USA, 64bit, fully patched, totalcmd 32bit 7.57 (24.02.2012). Not running as administrator.

Are you setting the tabstops using the mouse on the tabstop bar, or are you using Configuration -> Options -> Tabstops ?

If you are doing it with the mouse on the tabstop bar - you have to manually save the setting - that way you can temporarily change the tabstops without spoiling your setting permanently.

I do indeed set them using the mouse, entering the exact numbers using options is much to hard

I thought tabstops even when done via mouse were saved on exit, don't recall that ever failing. Then again I don't change 'm THAT often.

But what does the 'save tabstops on exit' option do then?

fpostma,

But what does the 'save tabstops on exit' option do then?

Where did you see such an option?

Roman

[fpostma]

Options -> Operations , 'save on exit' panel on the right lower half.

fpostma,

Options -> Operations , 'save on exit' panel on the right lower half.

In English there is only:
Save on exit:
- Directories
- Panels (brief/full, etc.)
- Old command lines
- Directory history

What language do you use?

Ah... yes .. I thought 'tabstops' was part of panels. I use English as well, no explicit 'tabstops' save in there, sorry for the confusion.

I don't think we are talking about the same - when I say using the mouse, I mean moving the tabstop borders over the file panels to the left or right with the mouse - in contrast to using the Configuration dialog.

When "Directories" is checked, TC should also save the tabs.

Not here. This is about tabstop positions - not about folder tabs...
