R584 - SETTINGS subfolder radio button not active

#1 Post by inglorious » 07.04.2012, 07:19

when starting R584 one of the radio buttons where settings are saved should be active already,
because settings are located in one of the three possibilities, so the path should be selected.

Confirmed, but I'm not sure if it's a "real" bug though.

It is by design. One of the option is active only if the the file fcStart.ini with the valid content exists.

OK, so it's not a bug, moved to "Beta Discussion".

well, well, if this ain't a bug, then I don't know... :roll:

1. grab R584 and run it on a clean OS
2. start FC, goto "Extras", Tools, Settings -> as you see, no radio button is active!
3. do some changes to FC e.g. add your favorite tool
4. close FC
5. settings are saved in FreeCommander.ini, FreeCommander.fav.ini, FreeCommander.wcx.ini
in "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\FreeCommanderXE" which by coincident corresponds with radio button [#1]
= "Specific for user (C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\FreeCommanderXE)

ergo, as FC 'by default' saves its settings as indicated by radio button #1, why is it not selected/active then to show the user where FC settings go ???
[my suggestion is to make the second radio button selected by default when first starting FC, that way we shall have a nice portable application]

BTW, I found a second bug, in win XP Luna, where the path is truncated, you may want to adapt the text box size to the actual text length.

Fixed for the release 585.
