I guess it's not keeping setting because it's crapping out. I see that it can't find the appconfig file then three minutes later it does. Anything happen in that time? Can you confirm that before you click on 'Start' that the correct config directory is set in the verbose log section of the settings? The JIT debug says it's trying to look for it at 'C:\Windows\appconfig.xml'


No, I haven't done anything different. The config directory is set correctly.

Suddenly it started working. I had to reset all directories one more time and "tell" the app to look for bmp. files and now it works perfect. Does it loose settings when you close it?

Well, it's not supposed to! I'll have a look at this area and see what can be improved.

Can I somehow include leading zeros for %H (24-h clock hours) ?
My current rename format is %Y%m%d_%H%k%t - %s for easy filename-based sorting, and that leading zero would make it even better for me.

I never noticed that the leading zero is missing. It should be adding them. That bit is using standard formatting definitions in .net so I blame Microsoft :)

As I can't get into the game I'll look at it now.

New version of the SSC available - 1.2.5.

The change is the addition of a new log file that was requested that lists the date and time as well as the location, name and size of each screen shot taken. Shotlog.txt is available in the same directory as the exe.

What is this log named 'SSChanger 1_2_5temp.log' which is written one directory up from the directory where the .exe is? Looks like a copy of EDs own netLog (...\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Logs). I'm guessing it is needed for the location info for renaming pics etc, but why one dir up from .exe?
I have SSChanger in "F:\ED stuff\SSChanger 1_2_5" and that temp log is written to "F:\ED stuff" and it stays there after closing the app. It was in 1_2_1 version too.
No issues with the app, works fine, just wondering while hauling stuff from station to station :)

Yep, it's a copy of the netlog. I found that I was getting access conflicts just trying to read the original file (probably as ED was trying to write to it) so I decided to grab a copy each time and read from that.

Realised during the night that I answered without thinging. So, the app runs by taking a copy of the netlog file and then using that, but that copy is called 'temp.log' and is in the same location as the exe. What you have got looks like a naming issue and for some reason it didn't add the '\' when creating the copy and placing it in that directory. It's always worked for me. :?
I'll have a look at the logic there.

UPDATE: Odd. It shouldn't have always worked for me :roll: I've corrected it, so the path will be right in the next version.
