In the options or the INI file you can specify which drive letters belong to partitions on the same storage medium.
Of course this is important for some file operations, but the the way in which TC changes the "SamePartitions" entry leads to a very unpleasant side effect:
- Delete the SamePartitions entry completely from the INI or set "SamePartitions=".
- Start TC and go to Options -> Copy/Delete
--> TC determines the drive letters to partitions on the same medium **automatically** and displays them (here: "E,F,D,C" -- a strange order BTW). - Don't change anything in the options and simply press "OK".
--> The just determined drive letters are written into the INI (here: "SamePartitions=E,F,D,C").
--> As soon as the INI entry exists, TC uses this information and does not determine it again (this is basically ok).
If one uses TC portable on several computers, then the just changed "SamePartitions" entry will be used on other computers, although it is (possibly) not correct there.
Suggestion:
"SamePartitions=*" could be supported to tell TC to automatically determine the drive letters to partitions on the same medium at every launch, but **not** to enter them into the INI.
This would facilitate the portable use of TC with the same INI.
