(solved) external Media reader: how to hide unused drives ? (HideRemovableNoMedia=7)
Hello
So after my usual partitions TC lists like 5 or so "drives" that are all just parts of my media reader thing. Like one is my SCard slot, the other MicroSD, the other xD and so on.. As I only use these rarely is it possible to hide these in a way it only pops up when there is actual something inserted in the slot?

Works, they should add this flag to the config screen UI

It's a hidden flag because some special drives with removable media take seconds or even minutes to respond when asked whether they have media in them. I would have made it the default if not for these problem drives...

Re: Media reader and drives it lists
Reinstalled Windows so needed to re-apply this. Now noticed in the latest version of Total Commander (using 11.0) there is no "wincmd.ini". Not in the TC directory and tried a full search for the file on my C: drive but nothing. Has this method changed?ghisler(Author) wrote: 2020-06-11, 10:11 UTC It's a hidden flag because some special drives with removable media take seconds or even minutes to respond when asked whether they have media in them.

There's no need to search for wincmd.ini. Use Configuration > Change settings files directly instead, as this will automatically open the correct wincmd.ini (in Notepad).
