How to totally disable history

[snop]

hi everyone,

I am using TC 11.5RC4 and just discovered something (yes, still possible) as I was using one button on my mouse (I have more than leftclick/rightclick, and was using button "Mouse 4") : when clicking on that mouse button, the path of the folders went historically in previously visited path (the list of path is available when i press ALT+SHIFT+down_arrow).
As I am using the Mouse 4 for other actions which i have binded, I therefore have an issue here where I get the action as well as the path going back in history.

I have searched in the forum, found different stuff from 2023 about "tcDirFrq.txt" file, about HistoryThinning, FrequentlyUsedLen, HistoryLen, ShowFrequentlyUsed, DirUsageLocation, and so on. All these values are to 0, and in Configuration > Options > History, I have set everything to 0, unchecked all the boxes, and have the storage location for most frequently used folders set to Disabled.
And still, I get the history when pressing ALT+SHIFT+down_arrow (which therefore is an issue for my particular case, but also in general as I want to disable this feature).

So my question is : how to

Thanks for your precious help.

To disable the Back/Forward buttons of the mouse add this to the [Configuration] section in your Wincmd.ini:

Code: Select all

MediaRemote=-1

Back and Forward are still available with <Alt> + <Left> and <Alt> + <Right>

You can disable the history saving with

Code: Select all

SaveFrequentlyUsed=0
SaveHistory=0

but it's still there during TC runtime.

"MediaRemote=-1" made it thanks for that


that said : SaveFrequentlyUsed and SaveHistory didnt remove the history, but i guess that what you meant is that while using TC, feature wont be disabled, but it is disabled from saving into a file on hard drive ? if so, all good, otherwise doesnt work for me and it could be a bug ?

TC saves the history in the current session in memory, even if SaveHistory is set to 0. In other words, that parameter controls whether or not the history is kept permanently (on disk).

You can configure the history and frequently used list via menu
Configuration - Options - History
or directly in the history by opening the right click context menu and then "Configure history".

Here you can set the numbers of items to be shown and/or to be stored to 0, and also directly clear the history.
