1by1: VERY strange problem

[bruder]

Hi,

I have lots of copies of the 1by1 program folder, each for a different audio book or other MP3 recording.

This has been working great for several months, and when the last update was released I updated some of the folders to the new version, but now something VERY strange has happened. When I start *ANY* of the 1by1 exe files, it now ALWAYS loads one specific audio book only.

The 1by1.ini files in the different folders are not affected, they still show the correct paths.

(some time later)

I seem to have located the source of the problem: as described above, 1by1 ignored the individual files, and used the .ini in C:\Users\myPC\AppData\Roaming\1by1 instead. I renamed that folder, now it works again.

I decided to still post it, might be a bug?

I'd call it a feature...

Then it's a feature that had disabled my #1 reason for using 1by1

Why? It works as you want it after deleting the centralized .ini.

Many progs work the same way: ini is per default in the user folder but you can also use an ini in the program folder if you want...

Don't panic. It's a feature ;)

1by1 saves the ini to the user's application data folder, if there is no write access to the program folder. From there on the user folder ini is used, because 1by1 always looks if there is an ini at startup.

Solution1: Delete the 1by1 folder in app data as teMPo said.

Solution2: To force using the local ini in the program folder start 1by1 with the option /localini, e.g. by adding the option to the command line in a 1by1 link.
