No it didn't. Please try sending it again with Total Commander as a part of the mail subject to white list it. I'm getting several 100 spam mails per day.

A smaill question, now the setting file CatalogMaker.ini seems only can put at the root path of Total commander

Is this possible to let CatalogMaker.ini in the same path with CatalogMaker.wcx? Thank you.

CatalogMaker.ini file is written in folder c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GHISLER. This path is provided by TotalCommander.
The modern Windows versions limit access to system folders where applications are install. Applications should store their data in AppData folder.
So it is system requirement.

No it isn't stored under c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GHISLER in all cases.
its definitely stored under TC's root dir which is fine for my portable TC environment but the plugins dir would be even better.

Probably it is an issue of the portable TC environment. Anyway I get path for ini file from TC in API function PackSetDefaultParams. According to the description of this function "It is recommended to store any plugin-specific information either directly in that file, or in that directory under a different name." If I change it for you, it would not work for others. So I use recommended place to store ini file.

You can make a compromise. If the CatalogMaker.ini file is located near CatalogMaker.wcx, then the configuration plugin is taken from CatalogMaker.ini which is located near CatalogMaker.wcx. If the CatalogMaker.ini file is not near CatalogMaker.wcx, then the settings are taken from CatalogMaker.ini, the path of which is taken from TC in API function PackSetDefaultParams.

Guys, could you please explain what problem we try to solve? Why do we need to move ini file to another location?

For Me none
Its allready portable.

[kesdoputr]

I use portable ver too, it's just seems better that plugin's setting can put in plugin dir.

The plugin is working fine, thanks for your working
