Each with a restart (to no effect) and a install 'qtide' also to no effect. so my system is now broken with j8s user deep inside Microsoftee territory - far different from my regular j environment. greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: chris burke <[email protected]> to: [email protected] date: 8 March 2013 19:28 subject: Re: [Jbeta] config changes In case there is some confusion - config file changes apply when J is reloaded. All the Edit|Configure menu does is make it easy to edit the config files from the session. -- from: chris burke <[email protected]> to: [email protected] date: 8 March 2013 19:25 subject: Re: [Jbeta] config changes There are bugs in the beta, so you may have hit one. However, changing the Folders config works fine for me. To narrow this down, load J, change the Folders config and save it, then look at the folders.cfg file from explorer. It should have been updated. Again, there is no requirement to reinstall after changing a configuration file. -- from: greg heil <[email protected]> to: Beta forum <[email protected]> date: 8 March 2013 16:50 subject: Re: config changes Hmm then why was it necessary for me to do a install 'qtide' After making changes to the folder paths using the Edit/Configure/Folders facility? Maybe there is a shortcut but rebooting J did not work. greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: chris burke <[email protected]> to: [email protected] date: 8 March 2013 16:43 subject: Re: [Jbeta] config changes Sorry, I don't understand the question. There is no reinstall requirement for config changes. -- from: greg heil <[email protected]> to: Beta forum <[email protected]> date: 8 March 2013 16:32 subject: Re: config changes How extensive is the reinstall requirement for config changes? Will it persist after j8 gets out of Beta? greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: greg heil <[email protected]> to: Beta forum <[email protected]> date: 6 March 2013 19:55 subject: config changes In w7 i ran install 'qtide' after doing a change to Edit/Configure/Folders and J seemed to accept the change. Is there any shortcut or must one do an install? Is that true for all aspects of Edit/Configure? greg ~krsnadas.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
