__NOEDITSECTION__
Total Commander has two main configuration files: wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini (these are default names which can be changed via the command line parameters). Also there are several minor files which contain some plugins' options.
'''Settings in the file wincmd.ini'''<br/>
 
Most settings in Wincmd.ini can also be changed from dialog boxes. Very few settings can only be changed directly, either because they are not meant for the end user, or they are only a workaround to a specific problem.
 
'''Settings in the file wcx_ftp.ini'''<br/>
 
Settings for the FTP client are stored in the file [[Ini-settings#FTP_client_Ini-settings|wcx_ftp.ini]].
 
Note: The two ini files are stored in the Windows directory, but the location can be changed using [[command line parameters]]. The location of the ini files can also be set in the registry. To do this, the location can be set either at installation time, or using the standalone program [http://www.ghisler.com/tools.htm#other inireloc.exe], available on www.ghisler.com, Addons section.

Tweak Total Commander ([[TweakTC]])<br/>
TweakTC  is  designed  for  advanced  configuration  of Total Commander  without  manual  editing  its INI files.<br/>

This is a name the '''main configuration file''' which contains most of settings, except some plugins' and FTP client's options. The name and location of main configuration file in modern Total Commander versions can be defined in [[Finding_the_paths_of_Total_Commander_files#Finding_the_TC_main_config_file|registry]] or by [[command line parameters]].

|-
|AlwaysCopyInBackground=0
|If set to 1, Total Commander always copies in the background (32-bit version only)
|-
|AlwaysPackInBackground=0
|1: zip in background<br/>2: zip+external packers in background<br/>3: like 2, but run external packers minimized
|-
|AlwaysToRoot=0
|If set to 1, Total Commander will always switch to the root directory when changing drives (like the Win95/98 Explorer).
|-
|AlwaysUnpackInBackground=0
|1: unzip in background<br/>2: unzip+external unpackers in background<br/>3: like 2, but run external unpackers minimized
|-
|AppendWarning=1
|If set to 0, Total Commander will not show a warning before appending to a file
|-
|AutoInstallPlugins=1
|If set to 0, auto-installation of plugins when entering plugin archive is disabled
|-
|Autotreechange=0
|If set to 1, a single click on a directory in tree view switches to that directory in the other window.
|-
|BriefViewWidthLimit=
|Sets a maximum width limit (in pixels) for a column in brief view
|-
|BrushForCursor=0
|Set this option to 1, if Total Commander leaves behind a trail of frames around the not selected files when moving the cursor (bug in graphics card).
|-
|CdCloseDoor=1
|If change drives to a CD-rom fails, try to close the CD drawer (only 32-bit version).<br/>Can be disabled with CdCloseDoor=0
|-
|CmdUpDown=0
|0: Move cursor up/down in file list even if the active window is the command line (1/0)<br/>
1: Moves the selection up/down when leaving the commandline so you lose the previous selection
|-

|-
|ColorFilters=0
|Enable/disable colors by file type
|-
|CompareCaseSensitive=0
|1: Compare by content sensitive to upper-/lowercase letters<br/>0: Ignore (a and A considered as equal)
|-
|<font color="#F9F9F9">
===CompareIgnoreRepSpace=1===
</font>CompareIgnoreRepSpace=1
|1: Ignore different number of spaces, e.g. "a b" is the same as "a...b"<br/>
0: Detect different number of spaces as a difference
|-
|CompareVertical=0
|1: Show compare by content windows above each other<br/>0: Side by side
|-
|CopyCompatDrives=
|The driveletters for which TC should use Compatibility mode for copy
|-
|CopyComments=6
|This is a combination (sum) of the following flags:<br/>
1: Default comment type is files.bbs<br/>
2: Default comment type is descript.ion<br/>
4: Read comments from both types<br/>
8: Copy comments belonging to files. The comment files themselves are skipped.<br/>
16: Use DOS charset for descript.ion (files.bbs always uses the DOS charset)<br/>
'''Note:''' If both 1 and 2 are set, 2 takes precedence
|-
|CopyStreams=0
|1: NTFS streams will be copied<br/>0: NTFS streams will be ignored
|-
|CopyBlockSize=32
|Sets block size for copying (in kbytes=1024 bytes). Default and minimum is 32 (=32768 bytes).
|-
|CopyHugeBlockSize=
|Sets the block size when copying very large files. The files will be read and written directly, bypassing the disk cache. Minimum size is 10MB. Only files larger than this block size will be copied this way. For smaller files, CopyBlockSize will be used. By default, without this entry in the INI file, this feature is turned off.
|-
|CopyBlockSizeOther=32
|Sets the block size for copying between drives on different physical disks. It's better to use a smaller block size when copying between different disks, because both disks can read/write at the same time. A single disk has to jump between source and target file when copying, so a large block size is better.
|-
|CopyHugeBlockSizeOther=
|Sets the block size when copying very large files, between different disks. Minimum: 256 kB.<br/>
Recommended values (try others yourself):<br/>
CopyBlockSize=1024<br/>

Revision as of 09:27, 5 December 2019

Total Commander has two main configuration files: wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini (these are default names which can be changed via the command line parameters). Also there are several minor files which contain some plugins' options.

Files list

wincmd.ini

This is a name the main configuration file which contains most of settings, except some plugins' and FTP client's options. The name and location of main configuration file in modern Total Commander versions can be defined in registry or by command line parameters. Most of settings can be changed from Total Commander dialog boxes. Very few settings can only be changed directly, either because they are not meant for the end user, or they are only a workaround to a specific problem.

For details, see description of wincmd.ini settings.

For the most up to date information about Total Commander configuration settings, see English and Russian pages on Ultra TC Editors website. Note: settings there are listed and organized as they appear in Ultra TC Editors Configuration_Editor.

wcx_ftp.ini

This file contains settings for Total Commander built-in FTP client. The name and location of FTP configuration file in modern Total Commander versions can be defined in registry or by command line parameters. Most settings can also be changed from Total Commander dialog boxes.

For details, see description of wcx_ftp.ini settings.

For the most up to date information about Total Commander configuration settings, see English and Russian pages on Ultra TC Editors website. Note: settings there are listed and organized as they appear in Ultra TC Editors Configuration_Editor.

contplug.ini

This file contains settings for some Content plugins.

fsplugin.ini

This file contains settings for some File-system plugins.

lsplugin.ini

This file contains settings for some Lister plugins.

pkplugin.ini

This file contains settings for some Packer plugins.

Location

Configuration files default location:

  • under Windows Vista: "%AppData%\Ghisler" folder
  • under older systems: Windows directory

Location can be changed:

  • using command line parameters
  • in the Registry. It can be set either at TC installation time, or using the standalone program IniReloc (available at www.ghisler.com in Addons section).


Third-party configurators

  • TC Plugins Manager - Plugin manager for plugins for Total Commander.
  • TweakTC - Application to configure advanced options of Total Commander which otherwise would have to be configured by editing settings files of Total Commander directly. TweakTC refers to compatibility with Total Commander version 6.0x. So it may be unsafe/not useful to use with later versions.
  • Ultra TC Editors - Package of tools for (advanced) configuration of different parts of Total Commander. Includes tools to edit main menu, start menu, history list, hotkeys, etc.
