Locked Tab not restored

[jcelle]

Hello,
Steps to reproduce:
- apply "lock but directory changes allowed" on a directory that you can make unavailable after (an USB stick or external disk), so something like "f:\foo"
- go to another directory like "c:\bar" (not "c:\")
- close TC
- remove the original "locked but..." directory by unplugging your USB stick of external disk
- start TC

Expected:
- tab opens on "c:\bar"

Seen:
- tab opens on "c:\" (maybe because it tries to locate the locked directory?)

It might be by design but this surprised me after installing version 10.5; I don't remember exactly how it was before 10.5 but the fact that I did not pay attention could mean it was working differently.
Thanks and regards.

Try and set

Code: Select all

IgnoreDirErrors=1

in the [Configuration] section of your wincmd.ini file - does that make any difference?

Yes, that's exactly what happens - when you close TC, all locked tabs get reverted to their locked directory.
If a tab directory doesn't exist, TC goes up one level until it reaches the drive root.

Thanks for your replies.
@petermad, the IgnoreDirErrors did not change the behaviour though I'll keep this option : might be interesting.
