816 - 2nd shortcuts are not persistent after program restart

FreeCommander XE 2020 Build 816 64-bit donor

First of all, thank you for the feature to define 2nd shortcuts for commands, I wished this for a long time.
However, when I try to configure any 2nd shortcuts, they never stay there after program restart (also tried to reinstall FreeCommander with default settings).

Problem:
1. Open "Define keyboard shortcuts" and assign new shortcuts to column "2. New shortcut"
2. The shortcuts work as intended, when reopen dialog "Define keyboard shortcuts" they are still there in column "2. Current shortcut"
3. Click Tools / Save Settings
4. Restart FreeCommander... Now there is no 2nd shortcut defined in the dialog "Define keyboard shortcuts" and of course the new shortcuts are not working

I noticed the file FreeCommander.shc contains the assigned shortcuts, but somehow the [ShortCuts2] are not loaded on program start (only the ShortCuts works)

Code: Select all

[ShortCuts]
actViewSplitSwitch=0
actViewShowHidden=Ctrl+H
[ShortCuts2]
actFileFindZip=Alt+F7
actDirRoot=Ctrl+\
actViewShowHidden=Ctrl+.

Confirmed!

I just wanted to report it, I'm not sure if it's only from 816.

I'm using a custom path for the Settings folder.

Yes, it is a bug.
Workaround: currently you need to rename the section [ShortCuts2] to [ShortCuts_Alternative] after each modification of the second shortcuts.

Fixed in 817/818, thanks, Marek.

Closed.
