FreeCommander Forum

Hi
For several reasons, I would like to set FreeCommander.ini as read-only. This was possible with the last 2009 version, but not with the XE 621. I always get 2 error messages when I close FC ("Cannot create file").
Moreover, this also means that we cannot store a customized FC XE on a read-only media, such as a CD. So, in my opinion, this is a regression compared to 2009 version.
Of course, I understand that these messages can be usefull in some cases, but in other cases, it is rather an issue.

Maybe make sure you don't have "auto-save settings" enabled?

It is disabled. I also have:
- Auto backup: disabled
- Delete history entries on close: enabled
- Start with following folders: checked
- Close all not locked tabs when the program ends: enabled
- Close all tabs with UNC path when the program ends: enabled

Even with this configuration, it still records the last active tab of each panel and restore them if they are differents from the selected folders for the start, in addition to these folders, but only if there is only one tab per panel, and if the "Always keep one tab open" option is checked. It seems to be a bug...
Or to be more clear: select these options, set the start folders at C:\ for each panel, go to C:\Windows in a panel, close FC, restart it: the panel where you selected C:\Windows now displays 2 tabs: one with C:\Windows, and another with C:\.

But even if I am not in this case, it still tries to write the .ini file and gives the "Cannot create file" error.
