Hello,

since Freecommander doesnt stay in Maximized View (F11) after closing and restarting.
How about some command line ability like "-fullscreen or -f"
that would be awesome i love Freecommander

It comes up with the last used size, whatever it was.

F11 is a special view which even overwrites the taskbar.
This prevents normal usage and only gives a few lines more of screen space.
Isn't it easy enough to get this with one keepress (f11)

You could use simple AutoHotkey script to run FC and then send to it F11 - and used it from now to open it

And I have days when I have to re-open it multiple times so that my locked Tabs get remembered, so that I do not loose them when FC crashes [which re-opening is more convenient than manually saving Settings]

Why not using "Save Settings" toolbar button, or keyboard shortcut?

I think it should be possible to use AutoHotkey or/and HotkeyP to save settings each X minutes, perhaps with combination with Task Scheduler.

well i got feedback that it will be integrated soon
as command line parameter thank freecommander gods :D
you start it once a day okay would be nice but freecommander still is buggy regarding treeview and deleted files
doing some stuff like scripts or makro keys or whatever yes possibility but

stuff like -fullscreen commmand line parameters are business as usual for programs
so would be nice if its integrated soon
