[e-users] Which config file to restore to undo e17 window change autosaves?
Marc MERLIN
in the right place and the right size, and save that.
During use, I have to sometimes move some of them, and resize them, and
kind of undo my carefully crafted world order :)
When I restarted e16, it would restart all clean since I had it setup
not to track and autosave window changes.
e17 force saves all changes with no opt-out unfortunately, so I have to
rsync back a known good config before starting e17 each time.
But I may not need to wipe my entire .e directory by reverting it each
time.
Is rsyncing .e/e/config/standard/e.cfg enough to restore my window
positions?
Thanks,
Marc

depends if e is running at the time. e will just unceremoniously overwrite
whatever files are there any time it likes. it assumes no one is changing
config files but it. you will also lose other config changes as the same config
file holds remembers and other config, state etc.
it would be safe to play with them while e is not running, but the worst that
will happen if you play while e is running is that it will just stomp over the
files u rsynced and keep marching on. (note: it is safe to delete the files
then replace. writing OVER the file, though it will be ok for e, may not be ok
for eet files (cfg/edje etc.) as eet will, depending on how data is loaded,
mmap data directly from the file, thus overwriting it may cause crashes as code
accesses that data in ram that may now be corrupt or no longer exist).
