[Fixed] Audacity: Handling of additional user settings

Submitted by depp.jones on February 23, 2012 - 12:00pm

I use audacity as my first choice audio editor on my home workstation as well as portable. Audacity's plugin handling is kind of automatic as described here. That is no big deal on my home machine as the plugins in C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins are found during the initial scan and nothing changes.

Use of [FileWriteN] in conjunction with the file "audacity.cfg"

Submitted by tapsklaps on January 22, 2012 - 6:31am

In the file "AudacityPortable.ini" I've discovered, that in the sections [FileWrite1] - [FileWrite5] at the entry "File" a path with the file "audacity.cfg" was used. But due to the used Typ "INI" is this code invalid. Accordingly, the sections [FileWrite1] - [FileWrite5] have no effect.

VLC portable saves a drive letter in an .ini file, which makes it not portable

I installed VLC Portable 1.1.11 in a directory on my F: Drive. It worked fine.

I copied the installation folder to mo D: drive. From that location, I could not run VLC Portable. When I clicked on the .exe file, it failed silently.

I discovered the problem: the file VLCPortableSettings.ini, in the location

F:\[install directory]\VLCPortable\Data

has a setting for LastDrive=

That setting was LastDrive=D, which was the letter I first installed it to, but not the letter of the new drive. When I changed LastDrive=D to LastDrive=F, VLC Portable started up fine.
