In build 86 we merge in the remaining files (some of which I had forgotten about! Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
). These files all had just one function and were not related. Accordingly I decided to merge them all into a new section called [Miscellaneous]
FirstUsed.txt - When the GSAK splash screen shows you see:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
The problem is that this number may not reflect the "true" number of days (because of reinstalls, upgrades, different computers, etc). This file allowed you to enter the First used date so the number of days would be calculated from this date. The original format was YYYYMMDD but for display purposes and to be consistent with Sqlite I have changed the format to YYYY-MM-DD (although the original format is still supported). Note: This feature only works for registered users. Having it apply to non registered users would allow them to circumvent the "trial" nature of GSAK.
This entry now shows up in your ConfigOther.txt as:
NoSplash.txt - I had forgotten about this one but I think it was added becasue there was a request to not show the GSAK splash screen on start up (I can't recall why not Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. ). This entry now shows up in your ConfigOther.txt as :
debugon.txt - We already have a configuration option on the advanced tab to turn debug on, but this one is quite different. It was implemented to track down some very obscure issues and should only be turned on if I specifically ask. It can be quite resource hungry so should only be set on when I am trying to track down a specific problem (usually on a one to one basis) This entry now shows up in your ConfigOther.txt as :
DisableScreenShot.txt - GSAK comes shipped with a basic default screen shot utility to help debug problems and post in the forum. However, the execution or keys used to invoke can sometimes cause a conflict with other applications (see this post). This option enables you to disable this function. This entry now shows up in your ConfigOther.txt as :
UploadImage.txt - The automatic screen shot and upload operates in two modes (see link above). You can have GSAK take the screen shot and upload the image or you can take the screen shot via an external application (to add pointers, highlights etc) and then have GSAK upload this image instead. This option triggers the latter. The contents of this file will be converted to something like the following:
WheelFix.txt - See this post. This entry now shows up in your ConfigOther.txt as :
PopupFix.txt - This was a special fix for one of our well known users, and I think to this date he is the only one having this issue. However, just in case someone else has the problem I have converted and preserved this fix. Basically, the root problem was that when the right mouse click was used to bring up the context sensitive menu, the position of the menu would *always* be at the top left of the screen instead of where the mouse click was. This option causes GSAK to remove the default placement of the menu, and use the mouse click coordinates to force the menu to display where the mouse was clicked. This entry now shows up in your ConfigOther.txt as :
If you have any of these files they should be converted to the new format and the file will renamed such that the extension will be ".GsakSave". For example, FirstUsed.txt will become FistUsed.GsakSave. These files will then have no significance in GSAK and no longer be used. Comments will be added to the ConfigOther.txt file for the options you don't have. If you don't have *any* of these files then you will see the following added to your ConfigOther.txt file
