Add non-admin way to rename columns

Post by eugenesv »

There is currently a "universal renaming mechanism" viewtopic.php?p=45757#p45757 of editing `localization_strings` in Everything-1.5a.ini
This is great and you can even add custom menu accelerators by renaming menus!!!
However, that requires editing the admin program files config, so you can't store/backup it automatically in your usual AppData locations

Would you please add a "regular" user ini mechanism for this? Ideally if you could do column names separately and menu names separately so that you don't need to guess whether your renaming of column "Size" had any effect on any menus that have this word.
Thanks!

localization_strings

I will consider a user option to override strings.
If I do add something it would be only for a few select strings.

Thanks for the suggestion.

By the way, could you maybe use a better config format with a proper dictionary for this so instead of having a hundred of your key=value; in a single line (unreadable!) user could have multiple lines with comments?
Comments are especially important if you want to override a single string and use its ID instead of value (to avoid side effects of renaming other same values), so would add the value in the comment
