Support and Feedback / Re: Move to new computer

First, I'm using 100/0, not 0/100.  And if these are so unsafe then they shouldn't be options in the system.

And yes, I do have my tabs configured in the Randy_tabs.ini.

But that isn't the relevant issue at the moment.  I need someone to tell me where and how to set the width in the navigation pane/folder tree panel so that it is saved and opens that way each time I close and reopen MC.

I was copying all I could think of to try to get it to look like it did on my previous laptop.

Yes, I do use a custom startup.  Here are the add-ons.
"C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -F="C:\Users\RandySwearengin\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\UserData\Randys_tabs.ini" -AutoRun="ChangeSplitSize"

So I still need someone to help figure out why the navigation pane/folder tree panel width won't save and why I still had to manually address many settings.

I've used Multi Commander for several years now.  However, when I got it configured as I liked, it just opens and works and I rarely mess with it.  Now I got a new computer and have tried multiple things to make Multi Commander look and work on the new computer exactly like it is on my old computer.

I've copied the C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Config folder and the C:\Users\randy\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander folder from the old to new computer, but still have to manually make several changes to the look and feel on the new computer.

What else am I missing to move all the settings to a new computer?

Also, I cannot figure out how to get the navigation pane/folder tree panel to maintain the width set each time I open Multi Commander.  I've searched other posts and they seem to indicate this should "just happen."  But I'm tired of having to reset this in each of the 7 tabs that are loaded automatically with MC each time I launch MC.

I've attached a screenshot of my layout.  The Split Size is set to 100/0 on each tab.  It's the navigation pane on the left that I cannot figure out how to save/set that width.

Support and Feedback / Exclamation points (!) on tabs at startup

« on: July 07, 2021, 20:44:05 »

After the latest update, v11.2 (build 2795), I noticed exclamation points (!) before each tab's name until I click on that tab.

I cannot find what this means in the forum or documentation.  I've attached a screenshot.

I use a custom INI to load specific tabs which are locked.  Here is my shortcut target... C:\Programs\MultiCommander (x64)\MultiCommander.exe" -F="C:\Users\RandyJSwearengin\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\UserData\Randys_tabs.ini" -AutoRun="ChangeSplitSize

Support and Feedback / Re: Parameter documentation

OK.  Is there any list besides the brief one on the command line parameters link?

And, is there anything providing definitions of the options that would apply to each parameter?  I realize 1 and 0 as on and off, but I'm sure there may be others that aren't so straightforward.

I am brand new to Multi Commander after having used a number of other tabbed file managers over the years, some of which are no longer under development.  My initial impressions are good, but I need some guidance to make more progress.

I have walked through a lot of customization of the settings which include adding multiple tabs to the left panel, setting the lock attributes and even changing tab colors.

I was attempting to create a startup INI file using the -F command.  However, while I have found users directing others to http://multicommander.com/docs/commandlineparameters to learn about command line parameters, this only provides a few examples and does not include any definitions for those examples.  i.e. Locked=1|0, but I want the parameter(s) for Locked Tab and Locked Tab - allow subpath change.  And what specifically does 1|0 indicate to the program?

Where can I find a complete list of the possible parameters along with their definitions?

Thanks in advance.
