FreeCommander Forum

hi,

I create fcstart.ini in freecommander folder

[Start]
freeCommanderIniDir="C:\Data\Laurent\ToSave\Config\FreeComander\"
(yes I know one m is missing at freecommander)

in Extras / Settings / Start program / config file / From following folder :
"C:\Data\Laurent\ToSave\Config\FreeComander\"

Start folder : Start with last used folder.

It never save config, and always re open with the both same folder C:\Program files\Freecommander"

any idea ?

thanks

Laurent

Hi,
thanks for your reply but this option is well uncheck.

And even the lock folders are not preserve.

Laurent

Go to Help\About and see where the FreeCommander.ini file used is located:



Then check to see if you have access rights (read and write) for that folder. Try changing it if not.

And make sure the settings are saved on exit:

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

I have read / write acces to :
C:\Data\Laurent\ToSave\Config\FreeComander
It's a path where I save all .ini file config for many softwares

Auto save settings is well check.

BUT:
About / info / FreeCommander.ini is effectively in c:\program files\FreeCommander\FreeCommander.ini

even if I always many times set it to
C:\Data\Laurent\ToSave\Config\FreeComander
or other places, close FreeCommander, reboot computer, etc etc. (about 2 hours for trying everything...)

I remember :
I create fcstart.ini in freecommander folder

[Start]
freeCommanderIniDir="C:\Data\Laurent\ToSave\Config\FreeComander\"
(yes I know one m is missing at freecommander)

and I use Win 8....
so writing to c:\program files\FreeCommander\FreeCommander.ini is not possible...

any other idea ?
[EDIT]
ok I just try to save in "application data", and for the first time it's ok. It remember.
the problem is not fully solve but I can now arrange with that...

Have you tried starting FC as administrator?
Or just use the portable version of FC and place it outside Program Files.
