When using TCDIALOG, alt-F2 or /=, ability to save or load the group of settings to a file and name each configuration set, e.g., . "Dir - By date, No Summary" or "Dir - Under 1k, Only .dat"
Often the same basic set is needed repeatedly with minor changes or a set is so obscure that the user will remember "I did something like that months ago but I don't remember the details, so I don't know what to search for."
Questions:
1) Should it only use one file?
2) Should the user be able to specify the file name?
3) If so, where? TCMD.ini ?
4) Should there be a location of pointers containing the locations of multiple files?
In other words, (TCDL = TCDialog Locations)
\TCDL
.. \Auto Parts Dirs-shortcut {points to M:\Auto Parts\dir configs.dir-sav}
..\Boat Parts Dir-shortcut {points to L:\Boats\boat dir configs.dir-sav}
..\Planes-shortcut {points to N:\Planes\all airplane.dir-sav}
There would need to be a way to tie a "saved configs" file to a single command, so when the user pulls up the configs list for DIR he only gets configs for DIR.
