klink portable - feature request

zdm - Fri 27/11/2015 07:30:26 CET +0100

klink -load search for sessions only in the start directory.

This is not very handy.

Is it possible to make klink (and others) to search for sessions in the directory, where klink is located, not only in start dir?

klink (in portable mode) search for sessions in the Sessions Directory that is located under the directory where klink.exe and kitty.ini files are.

This should work, but not.

I added klink.exe location to the %PATH% and started it with -load option.
It not found session.
This works only, if I start klink from directory, where it located.

If you don't start klink.exe from the directory where klink.exe and kitty.ini are you won't be in portable mode but in registry mode. klink.exe need to read kitty.ini to know the current save mode.

I am in portable mode.

kitty.ini is located near klink.exe and savemode=dir.

kitty.exe find sessions without any problems, but klink.exe - not.

If i run d:\dropbox\shared-win\putty\klink.exe -load centos - session is not loading.

If I run klink.exe -load centos from klink directory - everything is ok.

If you run d:\.... it means your are not in klink.exe directory. klink can't find the kitty.ini configuration file, so save mode will be registry mode. Create a fake "centos" session in the registry to be sure.
To solve the issue I propose to include in klink a workaround I have already made in KiTTY.
Get that special build: http://www.9bis.net/kitty/data/beta/klink.exe
Into your kitty.ini file add the setting configdir=d:\dropbox\shared-win\putty to point to your configuration directory (where Sessions sub-directory is).
Then create a global environment variable KITTY_INI_FILE=d:\dropbox\shared-win\putty\kitty.ini to point your kitty.ini file.

Thank you, I will try this.

I like the configdir feature.

Why you can't just read kitty.ini from klink.exe directory, if KITTY_INI_FILE is not defined?

Better late than never, but... the best way I've found to have multiple KiTTY tabs is to add it as a tab in Console2:

My choice is PuTTY Tab Manager: https://sites.google.com/site/macdsite/utilidades/puttytabmanager
