[BUG]RedirectSection=1 and AlternateUserIni=

[Drudatz]

If i part my Ini like this

Code: Select all

[1024x768 (8x16)]
AlternateUserIni=%Commander_Path%\Inis\[1024x768 (8x16)]
RedirectSection=1
[1280x1024 (8x16)]
AlternateUserIni=%Commander_Path%\Inis\[1280x1024 (8x16)]
RedirectSection=1
[800x600 (8x16)]
AlternateUserIni=%Commander_Path%\Inis\[800x600 (8x16)]
RedirectSection=1
[Buttonbar]
AlternateUserIni=%Commander_Path%\Inis\[Buttonbar]
RedirectSection=1
.
.
.
[Configuration]
RedirectSection=1
AlternateUserIni=%Commander_Path%\Inis\[Configuration]
UseIniInProgramDir=7

TC ONLY cares for the File %Commander_Path%\Inis\[Configuration]
make the Redirection stuff pretty useless...

Hopefully this will be fixed

It seems you have misunderstood this a bit. AlternateUserIni can only be used in Configuration. It's used to control where the redirected section are stored. Which sections are redirected by default is documented in the help.
RedirectSection can be used in any section. 0 and 1 will enable or disable the redirection. If set to 1 the section will be redirected to the file name given in AlternateUserIni. 0 excludes the section from redirection. But you can also set RedirectSection to a file name!

[Drudatz]

Thx
RedirectSection=%Commander_Path%\Inis\[<Section>]
did the trick...
should be documented better

But why doenst work
RedirectSection=1
AlternateUserIni=%Commander_Path%\Inis\[<Section>]
should do the same

AlternateUserIni= can only be defined in the [Configuration] section, and only once.

Example:
When you define AlternateUserIni=external.ini in the [Configuration] section, every section with an RedirectSection=1 line will be written to external.ini instead. Except for [Configuration] section which cannot be redirected for obvious reasons.


If you want a section to be written to another file than the one defined with AlternateUserIni you use RedirectSection=<path\anyname>

Example:
[User]
RedirectSection=d:\bananas\exceptional.ini

Except for [Configuration] section which cannot be redirected for obvious reasons.

That's not true:

17.05.06 Added: ini section [Configuration] can now also be redirected via RedirectSection= option. The options AlternateUserIni= and UseIniInProgramDir= will always be read from the non-redirected file, though

[deus-ex]

Yes, i read about that in the forums today. Ok, so i get half of the cookie for my posting beeing partial right. Haps! The other half goes to petermad. Yum, yum!

So Drudatz should replace in his ini the AlternatUserIni by RedirecSection and remove the "RedirectSetion=!" and all should work like he expects.
