Maybe, thanks Usher.
1. Global using AlternateUserIni=global-redir.ini in [Configuration] section of wincmd.ini
Okay, that points TC to using the global-redir.ini file - but then you say '...with [a] predefined list of
non-redirected sections'. Who defines that list? Must I make up a list inside global-redir.ini [doesn't make a lot of sense], or are you saying that that list 'exists', is prohibited naturally by TC?
Perhaps we should be using the term 'non-redirectable sections' - those sections that may not be redirected.
By saying 'non-redirected sections', it implies that they are not yet but they may be redirected if we so choose.
Then "There is an option to change this list" - but WHERE is this list?
What I'm seeing so far is, in wincmd.ini
"[Configuration]
"AlternateUserIni=global-redir.ini
"[Righttabs]
"RedirectSection=1"
I can't see anywhere to place the list you refer to. I assume so far that [Righttabs] data will be written to global-redir.ini - okay.
You go on to say that there's a more flexible way of doing things that, I agree, is more desirable, by choosing to implement "each permitted section in wincmd.ini may have a RedirectSection=1"
You also say that each permitted section may have a line like RedirectSection=per-section-name.ini
Does this therefore mean that 'RedirectSection=' has
two schema?
That in individual [permitted-ini-section] sections, RedirectSection= can be only 1 or 0,
and that
...in a permitted section 'RedirectSection=' may have a file name??
That leads me to conclude that I would have a setup in wincmd.ini
"[Configuration]
"
"[Righttabs]
"RedirectSection=1
"RedirectSection=righttabs-per-section-name.ini"
OR PERHAPS.... having just re-read the Help page - may 'AlternateUserIni=' appear, not only in [Configuration] but
also in, say, [RightTabs]?
This would mean that the reference in Help to 'AlternateUserIni=' is not referring back to its entry in [Configuration], but that 'AlternateUserIni=' may be used in individual permitted sections. A REVELATION!
That would proceed to, in wincmd.ini
"[Configuration]
"
"[Righttabs]
"RedirectSection=1
"AlternateUserIni=righttabs-per-section-name.ini"
Could that actually be correct?
(Oh dear, I think I'm lost: I've just re-read your reference, Usher, to 'RedirectSection=per-section-name.ini')
I'm not experimenting yet because of QUESTION. Is there a way to MIGRATE an existing wincmd.ini setup to a multi-ini configuration?
I suppose I could copy wincmd.ini to righttabs-per-section-name.ini - but would TC know how to read [RIghttabs] from within it, having been redirected to it?
I suppose in each copied ini I could remove everything but the section which it is intended to represent. A lot of work to begin with, but effective if it works. And I have a lot of 'wincmd.inis' for different purposes: "/i=..." in the shortcuts.
But, a migration tool/methodolgy?
