Summary

0000005: Manual editing of reference.ini for source location does not get used by GUI

Description

If I edit:

[Settings]
; trailing backslash is allowed, but not necessary
location = ""

To read (for example):

[Settings]
; trailing backslash is allowed, but not necessary
location = "C:\Unattend\RIS\RIS_Original\i386"

The application is not registering this in the GUI. Using "Browse" in the GUI can set this as the path. Also tried using %systemdrive% rather than C: but also to no avail. Have made sure IDENT files are located in i386 folder.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Edit refernce.ini to insert correct path
2. Launch application
3. Check location settings

Notes
(0000008) BashratTheSneaky (administrator) 2006-04-29 06:10	1) Reference.ini is a REFERENCE file, the DriverPacks BASE doesn't use these settings. Didn't make this clear, sorry. 2) IDENT files should be in the same folder (on the same level) as the I386 folder, not INSIDE it. 3) Using system variables in path names to folders that contain setup files is quite useless IMHO. I'll add it support for it, though.

(0000014) BashratTheSneaky (administrator) 2006-04-30 10:30	update: 1) reference.ini is now in docs dir 3) I decided I won't add support for this.
