FreeCommander Forum

Hello! I am a HEAVY FreeCommander user. I use it every day for production. My request is that FC autosave its settings when it loses focus, that is, when another window becomes active. This would provide a solution for when FC crashes, you don't lose your tabs! Also, I use powerpro to add lots of other functions and capabilities to FC. One of these is generating a quick MRU list of the directories open in FC's tabs - this list I bring up when having to deal with open/save dialogues from other programs. Problem is, I have to use sendkeys to get FC to save its settings, then I can read the tabs from FC's ini file. If you don't save settings first, then you don't get the current tabs. But if FC auto-saved its settings, it wouldn't be necessary to sendkeys anymore, and the MRU list would always be current. This seems like a very easy thing to accomplish, perhaps it could be added in the next release?

Support. I have already suggested related options here:

BTW for example, Avant Browser has a great feature - when the browser crashes, everything, incl. opened tabs (pages) are restored on the next start.

Hello! Can we have this for the next beta? I know, being a programmer myself, that it is an easy enough thing to implement.

Is there any chance of this being added? (Thanks, Marek)

Hello, again! Marek, can we please have an option to autosave settings when the program loses focus, or "every x minutes"? I want to write some scripts that access the current folders and open tabs from FCXE's ini file, but the list in the ini file isn't current until settings are saved.

Try to use the following line in the freecommander.ini
SaveSettingsOnFormDeactivate=1

Auto save settings must be set too.

Thank you Marek!
