Forums Scripts & Popups reload mirc.ini

I know the mIRC files say I shouldn't, but I want to change an item in mirc.ini using /writeini, and reload mirc.ini so all changes are used immediatly. How do I do this? I think it is possible since mIRC does exactly the same when you press ok in the option dialog.

Thanks in advance


^ This is the item which enables nick colors, which is checkable in the addressbook, in the color tab.

You mean like /cnick on|off ?

Tyvm, I never heard of this feature! mIRC keeps surprising me

You're welcome. I never new it wasn't documented.

* RoCk wonders why it's not

There should still be a way to force reloading of the current configuration file in use...

While this isn't ideal, you could use /exit -r

I agree. There should be a /reloadini to go with /saveini

This won't work, when mirc exits, it overwrites most mirc.ini sections with the respective settings in its memory, erasing any changes you made to mirc.ini with /writeini. There is currently no simple/elegant way around this.
