Sticky pane paths with free/portable version?

[BigB]

This morning I started testing XYplorer using the free version installed portable and have been unable to get the two panes to always open in C: and U:. I searched the found discussions about getting this to work but have been unsuccessful. The discussions I found don't mention free or portable so I'm wondering if my problem is a consequence of the free version installed as portable. Suggestions please.

Welcome to the forum

Make sure these settings are off
[ ] Configuration | Startup & Exit | Autosave settings after this many minutes
[ ] Configuration | Startup & Exit | Save settings on exit

Open C: and U: in your panes

Menu - File - Save Settings
Exit
Start XY again
Fine?

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, no joy. Both panes still open in "Computer".

FWIW, location is in C:\Apps\XZplorerFree. I find the xyplorer.ini file in C:\Apps\XZplorerFree\Data and the panes.ini files in C:\Apps\XZplorerFree\Data\Panes\1\t and ...\Date\Pane\2\t. The date/time stamps match the last close time. Is there an entry in those .ini files that can be set manually?

Indeed, there does not seem to be a good way to achieve this currently. Which is a bit strange. I'll put this on my list.

Thank you for acknowledgement of the problem and your attention to it.

You might have overlooked it but in the meantime it happened:

Code: Select all

v18.00.0011 - 2017-06-23 17:00
    + Configuration | Startup & Exit | Permanent startup path: Now you can state 
      a dual startup path, i.e. a startup path for each pane individually. Both 
      paths should be separated by a double pipe (||).
      General Syntax:
        Startup Path Pane 1||Startup Path Pane 2
      Both parts are optional.
      Examples:
        C:\||D:\          Pane 1 -> C:\; Pane 2 -> D:\
        ||D:\             Pane 1 -> (keep last path); Pane 2 -> D:\
        C:\||             Pane 1 -> C:\; Pane 2 -> (keep last path)
      Remarks:
      - Also the command line supports the new syntax.
      - Startup path handling has been rewritten from scratch to make this 
        possible.
      - Remember that a conventional single permanent startup path will always 
        overwrite the last path of the *active* pane (which can be pane 1 or 
        pane 2).
