Settings in the file wincmd.ini

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

Settings for the FTP client are stored in the file 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 inireloc.exe, available on www.ghisler.com, Addons section.

Other usefull programs:

Tweak Total Commander (TweakTC)
TweakTC is designed for advanced configuration of Total Commander without manual editing its INI files.
For download see the Plugins -page.

Configuration

[Configuration] General settings
1hourdif=0 1: Ignore time difference of exactly one hour when comparing files. This is useful when comparing between an NTFS and FAT volume (daylight saving time!).
AccessTime=1 Lets TC work with the last access time instead of the last write time, e.g. for copying files last accessed during the last x days
ActiveRight=0 1: The right listbox will be active when Total Commander starts (1/0)

This setting will be override with the: Command line parameter: /P

Aligned extension=1 File extension is shown left aligned
Allowed= Allowed drives -> restrict drive access! Example: Allowed=cde
\ stands for 'Network Neighborhood'
AltSearch=0 Search with 0=CTRL+ALT, 1=ALT, 2=letter only, 3=letter with search dialog, 4=disabled
AlwaysCopyInBackground=0 If set to 1, Total Commander always copies in the background (32-bit version only)
AlwaysPackInBackground=0 1: zip in background
2: zip+external packers in background
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
2: unzip+external unpackers in background
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).
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)

1: Moves the selection up/down when leaving the commandline so you lose the previous selection

CmtOemFont=0 Use OEM (DOS) character set in descript.ion files (only recommended if you use the tool 4dos or 4nt).
ColorFilters=0 Enable/disable colors by file type
CompareCaseSensitive=0 1: Compare by content sensitive to upper-/lowercase letters
0: Ignore (a and A considered as equal)

CompareIgnoreRepSpace=1

CompareIgnoreRepSpace=1

1: Ignore different number of spaces, e.g. "a b" is the same as "a...b"

0: Detect different number of spaces as a difference

CompareVertical=0 1: Show compare by content windows above each other
0: Side by side
CopyCompatDrives= The driveletters for which TC should use Compatibility mode for copy
CopyCompatUsbSticks=1 1: Enable compatibility mode for USB sticks specified, not available under Windows 9x/ME.
CopyComments=6 This is a combination (sum) of the following flags:

1: Default comment type is files.bbs
2: Default comment type is descript.ion
4: Read comments from both types
8: Copy comments belonging to files. The comment files themselves are skipped.
16: Use DOS charset for descript.ion (files.bbs always uses the DOS charset)
Note: If both 1 and 2 are set, 2 takes precedence

CopyStreams=0 1: NTFS streams will be copied
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.

Recommended values (try others yourself):
CopyBlockSize=1024
CopyHugeBlockSize=10240
CopyBlockSizeOther=128
CopyHugeBlockSizeOther=32

CopyDirTimeStamp= Copy date/time of last modification for direcrories (1/0).
SamePartitions=drives,drives Allows to set, which logical drives (partitions) belong to the same harddisk. Example: You have two harddisks, one with drives C,E and F, and the other with D, G and H. The entry has to be SamePartitions=CEF,DGH

When copying between E and F (same physical disk) the first two values will be used, when copying between C and D (different disk) the values with 'Other' in the name.

CountMarked=1 1: Count files in subdirs before copying/ deleting to allow a second percent bar

0: Do not count files (faster)

CountSpace=1 1: Count files when selecting with spacebar

0: Do not count files (faster)

DebugIcon=0 undocumented
DeleteDelay=0 Total Commander (32 bit only) waits the specified amount of time (in milliseconds) after deleting a file to recycle bin. Try to increase this value (default is 0) if you experience crashes when Cleansweep for windows is running.
DeviceChange=1 1= react to wm_devicechange messages (to detect disk changes)
0= ignore
DirBrackets=1 Show square brackets around directories (1/0, default=1)
DirsInFooter=1 1: If there is at least one subdirectory presents, then on selecting objects not only the number of files will be shown in the footer, but also the number of total/selected subdirs, e.g:

116,0 K / 230,2 M in 2/14 file(s)

ThumbnailPrealloc=100000 Sets number of bytes to pre-allocate when creating the thumbnails database to avoid fragmentation.

%D% is replaced by the drive letter (or root of share, \ replaced by _)
%R% is replaced by the root path

Please note that these variables MUST be upperase, otherwise TC will look for the environment variables with these names!

treefilelocationE= Sets location of treeinfo file only for drive E. Only works if treefilelocation= is set too!
treefilelocation__server_share= Sets location of treeinfo file only for drive \\server\share (treefilelocation= MUST be set too).

WantXpLook= 0: The old styles (flat, "square" 3D) will come back

1: XP Style (must be enabled in Windows)
2: Flat buttons
3: Usual buttons (This variable is unofficial)

WatchDirs=0 Controls the function of automatic dir list updates. It detects when programs other than Total Commander add, modify, or delete files shown in the active file panels.

0: use Total Commander's own function to delete files (most configuration options)

(caused by an incompatibility between Cleansweep and Total Commander's delete method).
If Cleansweep is not running, Total Commander uses its own method.

Winsock=c:\windows\winsock.dll Define location of Socket library for ftp (16 bit)
WmfAllowed=3 Don't show WMF (windows meta file) and EMF (enhanced meta file) images in Lister and thumbnails view, because of buffer overflow bug in Windows DLL (gdi32.dll). Once your system is patched, you can re-enable them:

0: WMF file display disabled. Disables also display of all folder thumbnails.
1: Allow to display WMF (Windows Metafile) images in Lister and thumbnails.
2: Allow to display thumbnails for folders (which may contain wmf files)
3: Show WMF files and folder thumbnails
-1: Allow folder thumbnails if the Windows patch is installed. WMF files will NOT be shown, they must be enabled manually. WMF has been disabled by default due to a severe security hole in Windows.
