FEATURE REQUEST- Quick change settings
Current Version 762
Win 10 1709
I use freeCommander in several different ways with a combination of different layouts and settings. Switching layouts is easy but changing settings is not.
I keep several different settings files and I would like to simply double click on the one I want to use and have freeCommander swirch to those settings
OR have a menu choice of settings in freeCommander as like layouts.
Thank you for a program that I cannot use my system without.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST- Quick change settings
I suppose you could do this as workaround (but I am not sure):
1. Rename your ini FC settings file using a unique prefix: for example "myuniqueprefix_"
2. in Settings -> Programs -> Default Action associate for "myuniqueprefix_*.ini" a bat file that would contain something like this:
Everytime you double click on your special ini files, the bat file will first kill freecommander then restart with setting from that ini file.
I don't know it this works. It is just an idea.

For what reason do you have to switch the settings? Is something missing in layouts?I use freeCommander in several different ways with a combination of different layouts and settings. Switching layouts is easy but changing settings is not.

I keep different favorite folders lists for different machines and other specific settings that layouts does not have.

You can use 2 or more portable freecommander program folders with different settings.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST- Quick change settings
Thanks but as I said it's a feature request. Not looking for a workaround.
