E will regularly rewrite these files. Whenever it thinks something that needs to be written out has outlived it's in-memory lifetime. So beware. You will be fighting with E. If you don't want to fight either: 1. Log out so E isn't running then edit or 2. Take advantage of E being lazy about writing and save your edits then instantly: killall -SEGV enlightenment This will force E to crash meaning it can't write out config files as it doesn't know if they are safe/sane in memory. The chances of E writing between your save and the killall (if you are fast) is minimal. then just tell e to restart and it'll load your edited file. > On Saturday 18 November 2017 18:02, Conrad Knight wrote : > > Hi, > > > > How do i read/edit E's *.cfg files?
