About "pluginbasedir="

[Raymond]

I found this new setting "pluginbasedir=" under [configuration] section of wincmd.ini. It's supposed to give default location where all plugins are auto installed into, right?
I've changed the setting like
pluginbasedir=D:\Totalcmd\
But later it became
pluginbasedir=D:\Totalcmd\w
This happens repeatedly, who could tell me why?

I can confirm the bug. \w is permanently added to the path.

Here too, to my pluginbasedir entry a _ was appended.


BTW, I would prefer if you could manually set default locations in ini file and not by the .inf in the plugin archives.

It could look like this:
pluginbasedir_wcx=
pluginbasedir_wpx=
pluginbasedir_wlx=
pluginbasedir_wfx=

Since i have my own directory structure it alwasy differs from what the .inf proposes.

So i could set:
pluginbasedir_wcx=c:\totalcmd\Plugins_Packer\
pluginbasedir_wdx=c:\totalcmd\Plugins_Content\
pluginbasedir_wlx=c:\totalcmd\Plugins_Lister\
pluginbasedir_wfx=c:\totalcmd\Plugins_FS\

and the .inf file only needs to append the directory name

Code: Select all

Pluginbasedir=%commander_path%

Install request uses the variable and appends proper plugin install path.
E.g. wdx-plugin install prompts %commander_path%\wdx\pluginname.

Where was the last plugin installed?

Folder structure is made like this:

D:\Totalcmd\wdx\AnyTag 0.92\
D:\Totalcmd\wfx\Registry 2.6.1\
D:\Totalcmd\wlx\Imagine 0.9.0.0\

When set "pluginbasedir=D:\Totalcmd\", later plugin auto installation pop up window ask me if install to
D:\Totalcmd\w\wdx\FileType
I have to delete "w\" manually. Then check wincmd.ini, it has changed to
pluginbasedir=D:\Totalcmd\w
This always happens.

Just now, I tried again with
pluginbasedir=%commander_path%
it works ok.

Raymond,

D:\Totalcmd\w

Well, this is the common part in your plugin installations.
