[Issue with GarpaUI] Recent Change to EVE Virtual Files?
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2014 12:03 pm
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED! Read my post here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4828&start=10#p28578, use virtual files, do some manual copying and pasting, win at ISBoxer.
--- If you don't want to use ISBoxer's virtual files, keep reading and Lax explains how to do so ---
After a very recent update, ISBoxer appears to be using "cookies" and "settings/" as virtual files. Previously, I believe ISBoxer used "cookies" and "core_public__.yaml" as virtual files. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The problem I am having is that GarpaUI (an amazing program that syncs your overview and ui settings) no longer works because it targets the "USER/appdata/local/ccp/eve/c_program_files_(x86)_ccp_eve_tranquility/settings" folder (at least in my case), while ISBoxer now saves the relevant files (core_user_####.dat and core_char_####.dat) in the "USER/appdata/local/ccp/eve/c_program_files_(x86)_ccp_eve_tranquility/settings-NAME" folders, of which I have now have one for every character in ISBoxer.
I can still sync things manually, of course, but it's annoying and takes a while.
I can also copy everything into the "settings" folder, user GarpaUI, then copy everything back out. Again, annoying and hard to explain to people who haven't done it before.
Two questions:
First, how do I revert the virtual file settings to whatever they were previously? I'm aware that there is a wizard for virtual files but my attempts to fix the problem didn't work, so pictures or a detailed walkthrough on picking the right file would be amazing!
Second, what is the reason for virtualizing the settings folder? If it's something that we should get used to, I'll pass that on to the GarpaUI guys and maybe they can figure something out.
