init-tickit.js isn't normally needed or used.
Ok what is the preferred way to the add the hundreds of fido filebone areas?
I guess I'll let those that actually use TickIT answer that, as I don't.
I know you can manually enter each one into tickit.ini or use the tickitcfg to enter each one individually, but I couldn't find any other way to add them all automatically?
The init-tickit.js doesn't really do it automatically as it requires/reads the init-tickit.ini which doesn't necessarily have all the fido filebone areas in it.
If I were using TickIT, and I guess at some point I should, just as a test, I would import the filebone list (e.g. filegate.zxx) into a new library in SCFG->File Areas and then I'd either export the directories to the tickit.ini (e.g. using exportcfg.js) or perhaps come up with something more automated where each area doesn't actually have to be listed in the tickit.ini file if it just uses the default settings.
