Admin.ini - [Paths]: Environment variables support

[highend]

Can you please add environment variable support to the keys in [Paths] for the Admin.ini file?

So that e.g. this will work:

Code: Select all

[Paths]
FileTagDat="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\DB.dat"
Scripts="D:\XYusers\%USERNAME%\Scripts"
etc.

Thanks!

[admin]

Makes sense, next beta.

[highend]

Thanks!

It seems the entry for Paper isn't working at all atm...

E.g.:
Paper="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\XYplorer\Paper"

If you invoke Help - Various Information
it shows that Paper still points to the standard path (in XY's data folder) and not to the path defined by Admin.ini

[admin]

Works here.
Is "%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\XYplorer\Paper" an existing path?

[highend]

It is.

Try this Admin.ini:

Code: Select all

[Paths]
FileTagDat="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\XYplorer\DB\SharedTags.dat"
Catalogs="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\XYplorer\Catalogs"
NewItems="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\XYplorer\NewItems"
Paper="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\XYplorer\Paper"
Scripts="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\XYplorer\Scripts"

[Tags]
TagDatSafeSave=1
TagDatOpenTryMsecs=5000
TagFlags=1
TagDatModCheckMsecs=2000

Paper is pointing to the wrong folder!

Now remove the [Tags] section and...
Paper will point to the correct folder!

Wow, interesting case. My super-optimized INI reader could fail to find a key if the user chose a certain sequence of keys. Fixed in next beta.

[highend]

with 0602 all paths from the Admin.ini are now ignored regardless if the [Tags] section exists additionally or not...

[admin]

Not here.

Crazy. Has to wait till tomorrow.

[admin]

Tried with Win10: No problem. Can't explain what you get.

Anyway, I applied a different and better fix now to the original problem. Next beta.

Hi,
I had the same behavior as highend.
I did some tests and messed my licence and... surprise it worked with expired license.
Hope it helps.

[highend]

It's back to the original behaviour with 0603

If the [Tags] section is in place, Paper points to the standard folder, if it's removed, it respects the setting from the Admin.ini

[admin]

Try 0604.
