Behavior of '-INIT' command line option

I am sorry that I did not pick this up before the last release.  The -INIT argument now works both in the detailed and short specifications as well as in both system and portable usage.  There is, however a difference in the way previously opened file(s) are handled.  The file manager is opened to the last used path, but the previously opened file(s) are not opened if -INIT is specified.  I tested using SPFLite.INI being specified and being defaulted.  Previously opened files always worked when -INIT was not used,  even if the previous session was ended with open files in a session that specified -INIT.

George, I tested using these commands alternately, each time ending SPFLite, after opening an edit tab from FM, by closing SPFLite, clicking the close "X" box in the top right hand corner:
Start "" "C:\Program Files\SPFLite\SPFLite.exe" -I "C:\Users\Jani.Bride\Documents\SPFLite\SPFLite.INI"
Start "" "C:\Program Files\SPFLite\SPFLite.exe"I noticed the problem using other INIs but this was the best way to demonstrate it.

Good job again, George.  Naturally, I was just about to post my detailed test results, monitoring MRFList= to try to help, but you beat me to it.  Oh, please don't turf it.  I intended to rescind one of my really ugly contributed files that renamed INI files in deference to a properly working -INIT option.

I think I tried to explain this a while ago,  but you asked and you have spun wheels so many times to help me that you deserve it.

   This all has to do with my cataracts and two Windows 7 systems.  They have radically different screen sizes and resolutions.  Although I work best on the desktop with the 22" monitor,  I prefer working in the fresh air on the porch in good weather using my laptop with the small screen.  All of the data that I use with SPFLite is maintained on two memory sticks which I keep current using FreeFileSync from SourceForge tools.  I found INI files customized to the drive letters on the two systems works very well for continuity and bringing up SPFLite with the appropriate font sizes.

    The other big factor is that I rely quite heavily on colorization to keep myself oriented to what I am doing, so I have colorized my File Managers differently for system-installed and portable versions: Neutral for host, orange and magenta for the removable media.  In addition,  all quoted text being edited is colorized in a similar way.  This was less clumsy for me than using the cloud where I had too much trouble keeping things straight.

   I could fix this all by acquiring a good gaming laptop with a large screen, but that is not to be.  Throw in the old XP system which still runs SPFLite 8.2 for good measure and there is a lot to keep organized.

   So it is a combination of budget,  hardware, personal habit, my ducking senior moments, poor eyesight and an increasing dependence on your wonderful product that makes me one of your strangest and more demanding users.
