The Favorite manu integration with TCUP(Total Commander Ultima Prime - based on Total Commander)is not working. The tcmd favorites are not visible in FlashFolder.
using
***************
winXP SP2
FlashFolders 1.9.181.0 - se atached file for details
TCUP 2.6
Total Commander 7.02a
possible cause:
****************
I suspect it is due to the different install location of TCUP ("C:\Program Files\TC UP")against TC's (c:/wincmd... or something similar :)
possible solution:
*******************
A section in FlashFolder options, enableing the user to browse for "winmd.ini" (container file of TC's favorite folders)might come handy. it solves any kinde of install folder issues...

Try to look for %COMMANDER_PATH% environment variable. Total Commander sets it while running.
Second solution is allowing the user to choose exact file location. Getting installed path only might give additional problems because TC allows to redirect some of the INI ections to other files using parameter:
RedirectSection=XXX
where XXX is the location of needed file (relative or static path and filename).
It looks like Flashfolder searches the registry for the location of wincmd.ini file. If the registry doesn't contain this value or points to other place, integration with TC fails.
Solutiion is very simple, just add the proper path to wincmd.ini ti registry.
This is the reg file content, assuming TC is installed in c:\totalcmd and ini file is in the same dir. Just change the values to fit your configuration.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander]
"IniFileName"=".\\wincmd.ini"
"FtpIniName"=".\\wcx_ftp.ini"
"InstallDir"="c:\\totalcmd"
The mentioned entries are not to be found in my registry, so i created them manually, and exported them to a *.reg script. The script is uploaded here:

Now my Flashfolder is perfectly integrated with my Total Commander Ultima Prime default install. (C:\Program Files\TC UP)
Thanx for your contribution.
C U all.
