Bug in Sumatra 0.8![]() Submitted by Simeon on January 19, 2008 - 6:55am
It creates a folder called ${DEFAULTSETTINGSDIR} in my Data folder. EDIT Yes. It looks like John removed the DEFAULTSETTINGSDIR Variable from the Launcher code but left it in line 142: StrCpy "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY" "$EXEDIR\Data\${DEFAULTSETTINGSDIR}". ( categories: )

Mhm.
It makes the string literal. I could release an update, but meh.

Still getting empty dir in APPSDATA with 0.8 Rev
Hi all,
I downloaded the 0.8 Rev 2 update, used the launcher to execute, and I still get the empty "SumatraPDF" directory in APPDATA.
Another observation - If I bypass the PA launcher and just run SumatraPDF.exe on the C: drive it will write its .DAT file to APPDATA, but if I run SumatraPDF.exe from a USB key it writes the .DAT file to the USB directory where the EXE is located. Is the behavior hard coded into the SumatraPDF executable?
