Hi and welcome to the forum.

Does the tool work with portable version of Total Commander?

@tproli:
Hi and thanks for the greeting!

Of course it operates with portable TC, especially when the utility is being run from Total Commander itself (thus automatically getting its parent directory & path of executable). In the future versions I tend to implement support for more Total Commander-like file commanders (like Double Commander, Unreal Commander etc), as they can work with w*x plugins as well. Btw the tool also includes a built-in Hungarian language, 'cause magyar vagyok szintén, és fontosnak tartom hogy kicsiny szülőhazám nyelvén is beszéljenek a programok. Nice to see another Hungarian on the board!

PS.: I found and tried out yeP about just a week ago - its already pretty convenient, good luck with it!

Great, thanks. I tried it again and it was able to update TC and most of the plugins after specifying custom plugins.ini location (I have "RedirectSection=%commander_path%\settings\plugins.ini" lines in wincmd.ini).
Magyarul: múkodik!

I'm using Double Commander for some time now so good to hear that other file managers will be also supported in the future.
