ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Different Thumbs.ini file for the same user? [OK]

« on: 2014-05-16 20:16:32 »

Is this now possible with Thumbs 9?  If so, how do I set up a separate DB with different .ini settings?  I specifically want to open one DB with the last folder for THAT DB, and open a different DB with the last folder for that one as well.

Having multiple DB share the last opened folder is annoying.  The DBs are keeping thumbs in entirely different folders/drives.

Fantastic.  Really all I think is necessary is to just allow pointing to a different settings directory than the default.  On initial startup of a new settings directory, just copy over the default files, and thereafter just set to/from the specified directory.

Thanks for the reply.  Pretty brute force, but if Cerious doesn't put this functionality back in, then I guess this may be the best solution.

It really seems like a limitation that is unnecessary, and in a lot of cases, unwanted!  It seems if a user wants more than one database, they'd want to go to the last folder for whatever DB they open.  


I hope they allow for this in future updates.

This thread details a workaround, feature may be added in a later version.

Hello,

With TP v7, I could have two databases that were essentially completely separate from each other.  I could just open one DB, and it would return to the last folder I was in for that DB.  I could open the other DB, and it would return to the last folder I was in for it as well - they were separate.

Now, in TP V8x, any DB I open shares the Thumbs.ini file, and thus the "remembered" folder is always the folder I was in the last time I closed TP regardless of the DB.  

This is really annoying - I want to have multiple DBs that keep this kind of information separate.  Is there anyway I can get this functionality back?  Like specifying a different ini file?  Or a different settings directory?

Thanks.
