LogFile in %COMMANDER_INI%

[Andy Solo]

Why aren't log files created in such paths?
LogFile=%COMMANDER_INI%\totalcmd.log
LogFile=%COMMANDER_INI%\tcftp.log

If you use the %TEMP% variable, everything works:
LogFile=%TEMP%\totalcmd.log
LogFile=%TEMP%\tcftp.log

- open a DOS window from TC(!!!)
- execute: echo %COMMANDER_INI%
- what do you get? (that can't work)



Do you mean %commander_PATH% instead?

See https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/Navigation




Or try %COMMANDER_INI%\..\totalcmd.log       maybe that works too?

Hmm, this worked:
LogFile=%COMMANDER_INI%\..\totalcmd.log
LogFile=%COMMANDER_INI%\..\tcftp.log

Very strange and unusual...

Not strange or unusual at all. %COMMANDER_INI% points to a file. A directory named %COMMANDER_INI% doesn't exist - and can't be created when a file with this name already exists, hence TC can't create a log file inside %COMMANDER_INI%.

What you probably want to use is %COMMANDER_PATH%.

What you probably want to use is %COMMANDER_PATH%.

Not necessarily. Depends on the actual circumstances of Andy Solo's TC setup.
%COMMANDER_PATH% is the directory of the TC executable, whereas %COMMANDER_INI%\.. refers to the directory of TC's INI files.
