App state fragility

[candomez]

Would it be possible to update FreeCommander.hist.ini in real time, as each change occurs?
Since as it stands now, if FC exits abnormally or crashes, then the open tabs list and any similar history is lost.

Bad suggestion.
There may be dependend settings to be made
and in your case only half of it are stored if a crash occurs.
How often do your FC or OS crash while you are changing settings.
And how many changes to you make that you loose a lerge amount of lines or time.

You don't understand. And you're making guesses. This post is for the developer; just let him respond.

So when I open a new tab, for example, can that info be written to the history file (or wherever), so that the app's working state is recorded, while the app is actually open.

Marek can still respond even others made comments or questions.
Thats how discussion forums are working .

If the program is crashing often, try to find the reason and report it, please, it's not normal.

Workaround for the suggestion - main menu - Tools - Save Settings.

It's possible to create a toolbar button for "Save Settings" and even keyboard shortcut, so if you open the new tabs, you can save settings and opened tabs.

I have been using FC for years, recently x64 portable - and despite numerous updates of it and my operating system I still get now and the a crash without a reason / pattern [i.e. to me they seem random]

Bad suggestion

As a result of those crashed I sometimes annoyingly loose both info and time, because I relay heavily on Tabs - which are not automatically saved in real time

So for me personally it would be a valuable addition, if Tabs would be remembered despite crashes of FC

I cannot possibly be clicking my Save The Settings icon after each Tab operation - and thus my losses occur, especially in a heat of workload

Tools > Save Settings isn't a work-around though, because it doesn't update FreeCommander.hist.ini, which is the file that tracks the opened tabs state, etc. In fact, it appears that file is only updated when you close the app... which of course kind of runs counter to using the app.

But if nothing else, it would certainly be helpful if that file at least got updated by Tools > Save Settings, especially since I have a script that periodically kicks off that operation and backs up my settings.
