scummvm.ini in program root

[Second]

Hello,

I have a problem! Why does my ScummVM not recognize my configuration file (scummvm.ini) in its program root after I've moved it away from the dark, hellish pits of Documents & Settings on Windows XP?

Thanks beforehand,

You would have to use a command line switch to tell it to use that. See the README

Thank you very much!

For others that are interested, the switch is "--config=", for example,

Code: Select all

C:\Path\To\ScummVM\scummvm.exe --config=scummvm.ini

It might be useful if the existence of this switch could be mentioned in the readme under the configuration file section ("(8.0) Configuration files") - that's where I naturally looked at first and didn't find what I was looking for.

It wouldn't be a bad feature to automatically scan the program root for an overriding "scummvm.ini" file at runtime, either [/code]

Dead horse or not (looking at those threads, that would be highly arguable!), neither of those threads (which would have been incredibly helpful for me too) came up on the first page of the search when I searched the forums for "scummvm.ini".

What's up with that?
