%APPDATA% not working (?) Thread last updated on 2007-07-25 21:22:04

Lo all,

I'm setting up LS on a secondary machine here and I'm not using the installer as I wanted some more control over what goes on. As there are multiple accounts on the machine I want to have the personal stuff stored in the users' Application Data dir and not in the LS dir. Only problem is... it's not working.

I've pointed the critical folder vars to the correct dir like this:

personaldir "%APPDATA%\LiteStep\personal\"
themesdir "%APPDATA%\LiteStep\themes\"
"

...but LS just complains about the $themedir$ var not being defined. If I hard-code the path it works, but I would rather not do that.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

Try...

personaldir "$APPDATA$\LiteStep\personal"
themesdir "$APPDATA$\LiteStep\themes"

$themedir$ != $themesdir$ ???

xcal: Weird, I could have sworn I tried that. Well, that fixed it. Thanks!

DeV: themedir = dir of the current theme, themesdir = dir where all themes are stored :)

That's ok, West. You're new to Litestep. :D

Yeah, I hit my head the other day and became a n00b again.
