BACKUP MC: Save the folder in the configuration
« on: January 13, 2026, 19:56:12 »
I'd like MC to remember, save and populate the backup directory/folder. It is too many steps to set the folder each time I want to create a new backup. I don't like that it starts with a blank box.


Thank you

Any update on this suggestion? It would be nice if MC remembered the last used backup folder.
Thank you

I made the following User-Defined-Command 'Custom Commands' and assigned it as an alias named "bkp" so I can backup the config via the command line, repeatedly to the same file:

Backup MC Config:
Code: [Select]
MC.BackupConfig FILE="C:\Users\dell\Downloads\MultiCommander_ConfigBackup(latest).zip" ONLY_CONFIG
Change path to the backup save path you want the ZIP saved in, once you make the User-Defined-Command and assign it "bkp" or whatever you choose as the Alias, you can backup MC from the Command Bar just typing "bkp" and hitting enter (it'll backup silently.) Each time you execute the command it'll overwrite the same file without prompt. Hope it helps !
