foobar2000 v1.0: discussion
Reply #102 – 2010-01-11 11:17:53
As I always use the compatibility mode switch to enable correct tagging for my Nokia N95, I'm wondering if padding was enabled or disabled before. I guess it was enabled if the compatibility switch was off, and it was disabled if the compatibility switch was on? Exactly, it did (and still does) multiple things to improve compatibility.Well, I lost mine. I'm using 0.9.6.9 portable install, and it looks like the portable settings have moved from foobar2000.cfg to a lot of single files (one for each plugin) in the new "configuration" folder. Not only portable settings. However the foobar2000.cfg contents are loaded fine when you first run the application, then saved to the "configuration" folder automatically the next time configuration is written.Please, what was the need for such a big change, which is not even very clearly documented, and why not make it backwards compatible? The reason for the change was that [a href='index.php?showtopic=76353']people wanted[/a] more powerful way to manage component configuration, like delete old entries or transfer only settings for some components without the need to bring the whole foobar2000.cfg over. Also it seems you didn't read the v1.0 Release Notes . I'll be continuing happily with 0.9.6.9 until someone writes a plug-in that converts my old settings to the new cfg thingy. Irrelevant, the new version does it itself transparently.
