Plugin management not working

[skajfes]

Hi,

FARR does not save settings regarding plugins. For example if I disable a plugin trough FARR settings dialog, the plugin remains enabled.
Also some plugins have additional settings (ie. Timer plugin) and changing those settings also doesn't get persisted.

I am running FARR on Windows 8.1. I don't have UAC enabled, and FARR is not running with elevated permissions.

Are you using portable farr or the installer version? Do you customize your ConfigDir.ini file?
It sounds like maybe it's trying to save settings someplace it doesn't have permission.. If you change other options are they saved on a program exit and restart?

I am using the installer version, and ConfigDir.ini file was the default one (all lines commented out).
Other options are getting saved, yes.
It seems to me that the options and aliases are getting saved in the %mydocuments%\DonationsCoder\FindAndRunRobot folder, but the plugins are saved in the c:\program files.. folder
If I grant myself (the regular user on the pc) access on the plugins folder then plugin management works, but that is not really a solution.
I would think that the plugins should get saved to the mydocuments folder as well.

Thanks, let me try to track that down -- it does indeed sound like that's what's happening, though it shouldn't.
However, it may be that older plugins are not using the right directory.

The one thing that seems odd is that the disabling of a plugin, if my memory serves me, is stored in the normal settings file of FARR -- so *that* value at least, i would think would be saved properly.

FWIW disabling a plugin creates a .cfi file inside the plugin folder, which contains some info about the plugin together with the enabled flag. That should explain why is it not working

thanks skajfes, i guess my memory is not so good -- i will try to fix.
