Active Tabset at program start

[moimareyna]

Total newb here so if it's a dumb question do forgive. I did search the forum but could not find an answer. I want a saved Tabset active every time I start XYplorer and tried all sort of things, nothing is working for me. I start the program with:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /ini=C:\Users\Moi\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\XYplorer.ini
(Autohotkey)

This XYplorer.ini contains in the [General] section:

Tabset1=Moi2

The tabset when I open it is exactly the way I want it but but cannot get it to be the active one when starting the program.

I'm sure I am missing something very simple, please point me in the right direction.

Hello, welcome to the forum!

Does it help if you save settings in the new instance of XY after activating the needed tabset(s)?

Also I take it (Autohotkey) is just a placeholder for a valid startpath?

Thank you for the quick reply!

I tried saving settings after activating the tabset. I think maybe it has something to do with how it saves the path of the tabset. When I first open XY and go to the "Various information" under help, it shows as I said "Tabset1=Moi2" , but this is clearly not found by XY, incomplete path. After opening the desired tabset and going back to the "Various information" it changes to:
"Tabset1=C:\Users\Moi\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Panes\Moi2\"

I save settings again, close XY, and reopen and it reverts to "Tabset1=Moi2" . So it is not saving a complete path for the tabset and therefore cannot find it when reopened.

Well, interesting problem, but I won't keep you waiting -- unless somebody else answers, my next reply (if I can think of any) isn't going to be be so quick!

BTW, is that appdata folder the usual location where XY saves settings?
If so,then what happens if you pass just ini name as parameter?

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\xyplorer.exe" /ini=xyplorer.ini

This appdata folder is where XY saves settings for this particular user (me!), I thought this is the folder I should be using for "customized" settings. I will try "/ini=xyplorer.ini" when I get a chance.
