Startup folder not working on v15

[Chen Hsien Chang]

Hi,

I have upgraded my TCC from v14 to v15 and I realized the startup folder is not working any more. I have indicated in the tcmd.ini with the following:
TCStartPath=c:\
4StartPath=c:\

but no luck. Can anyone advise please ?

Not reproducible here. Are you sure that TCC is reading the TCMD.INI you think it is? (Run OPTION from the TCC command line; it will display the current TCMD.INI on the dialog title bar.)

yes, it does. See attached screenshot.

TCStartPath and 4StartPath refer to the location of TCSTART.BTM and TCEXIT.BTM files. "C:\" seems like a very unlikely location for those files. Are you possibly confusing this with the current directory when TCC starts? The directory in which TCC starts can be specified in a shortcut or on TCC's command line. It can also be specified in the TCSTART.BTM file but that can cause problems when transient (pipe) instances of TCC unknowingly have their current directory changed.

I managed to get it working by defining "cd c:\" in TCSTART.BTM.

That should be

if %_pipe ne 1 .and. %_transient ne 1 cdd c:\

because pipe and transient instances of TCC expect to be in the current directory (not forced to be in c:\).

Thanks, it works :)
