Adding remotevent.ini to the mirc.ini file - 24/05/03 11:17 AM
Ok, been looking at the mirc folder structure, and at all the .ini files.
The ones that spring to mind are mirc.ini, perform.ini and such like.
My suggestion would be to have remotevent.ini or something similar added to the
mirc.ini file and the main folder, something like the perform.ini that was added
to mirc a while back. (cant remember what version it was)
The reason why i think this could be added is the fact that microsoft in my opinion
WONT do something about ini files being truncated, as i know other users who are
suffering from this problem.
I dont know if its the size of the mirc.ini file that is causing scripts to unload or not, but maybe if there
was one entry that pointed to an external file which loaded up the scripts, then both files sizes would be smaller.
In otherwords have an entry in the mirc.ini file that points to an external .ini file
which has all the scripts loaded up, thus hopefully the ini files wont get truncated.
(I really hope somebody understands what i mean)
For example, my test mirc.ini file contains this info (this is just part of the file)
What if there was
and there was an external .ini file called remotevent.ini with
That way if mirc did crash and the mirc.ini file was truncated, it should still leave
the file called remotevent.ini alone, and hopefully stop scripts getting unloaded.
Does anybody see what i mean now ?
I did try to edit my mirc.ini file in a bid to see if i could get mirc to do it without the option being added
(on a backup copy) but it did not work.
Thanks for reading this rather long winded feature suggestion, but i kinda got sick of ini file getting truncated
maybe due to mirc.ini file size.
