[vista bug] myalias files not available
« on: February 11, 2008, 04:25 AM »
Under vista, in the preferences under the alias tab, the myalias file is not available from the dropdown. Therefore by default it's not possible to add / edit any aliases. Also the farr preferences and aliases are located under C:\Users\<username>\Documents\DonationCoder\FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups. Yes under "my documents". Not sure if this is on purpose but different from XP.

Thanks for the report, this sounds like its a non-trivial bug that needs fixing.

Any news on this issue? It would be nice to have the possibility to customize the target-dir for the cutom user alias file. I'd prefer 'My Documents' because I have my backups there.

Sascha, you can do this now -- just edit the ConfigDir.ini file and specify a directory where you want FARR to store config files.

just edit the ConfigDir.ini
Whuaaaaaaaa, I've checked every ini for some path-values; but I missed the ConfigDir.ini  ;)
Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend!  :) :Thmbsup:
