Title: 0.9.9.14 Replace folders in file path
Post by: patch on September 10, 2009, 02:18:08 pm

In PVD -> Tools -> preferences -> Folders
I'm having difficulty using this feature with the current software.
I can enter the string to find.
But I can't select the field containing the string to replace it with.

Tried both vista & windows XP machines, same problem.

Is it just me or is this a bug?

Confirmed. The problem is caused by component update :-| Will be fixed asap

Thanks for the update.
Looking forward to the the next version / update to connect new computers to my PVD server :)

Is it just me or does 0.9.9.16 have this feature too.

btw, if it still behaves the same, the config file cane be edited directly the achieve the same function (but perhaps not quite as elegantly).
Open "pvdconf" file in text editor
Find section folders parameters (with "[Folders]" as heading).
Change values of "FindFolders=" and "RepFolders=" to desired values

Note values appear to be a text field without quotes. Not sure what the field delimiter as I need only one find / replace.

Yes. It also affects the find/replace section of the File Scanner configuration.

It's tab-delimited. It helps to use a text editor that can show tabs.
