Need Quit Button and/or enable Quit menu when incompatible bitcoin.conf

[ChristopherA]

Installed Gordian Server v0.1.4 tagged .dmg over an old Standup.app on my mainnet Mac mini. Got this error. Note that my configuration I had my bitcoin directory in a non-standard place as set by Standup.app (it should be at ~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin but mine is at /Volumes/Media/Bitcoin/

You can't quit Gordian Server v0.1.4 from menu bar if you see get this error. The OK button isn't OK, it should be Quit so you can go back to edit bitcoin.conf.

Other notes:

• this dialogue should say which bitcoin.conf it thinks is the problem. It should name the path.
• There should probably be a button to open the folder containing the bitcoin.conf file wherever Gordian Server thinks the bitcoin.conf (normally ~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin but remember mine is elsewhere).
• Maybe offer to delete the single bad line.

There are other problems after this that may be significant, but may be addressed by just fixing the above:

• Currently if you go to OK, you can get this same error several times (but not always).
• Eventually you'll go to the "Ready to Standup" dialogue, which you just said in previous error isn't compatible.
• I said No after "Ready to Standup", as I wanted to got to Preferences to see where I'd set bitcoin.conf to be, but Preferences menu is disabled.

If you do decide to have an option to delete the network line from bitcoin.conf you should backup the old bitcoin.conf to bitcoin.conf.<timestamp>.

For reference, my "Ready to Standup" window after I deleted "testnet=1" entry:

and my bitcoin.conf

Just a few comments:

Not sure what version you were on but 0.1.4 has breaking changes with older versions as was mentioned in the PR. You should most definitely delete the old standup directory before updating. Namely the location of the standup directory has changed among other things.

You can specify a custom datadir with GS via settings where it will look for a bitcoin.conf, tap the gear button on the home screen and edit the path for Data Directory. GS will only ever look for the bitcoin.conf in this location which is by default the default location.

There is a button for opening the bitcoin.conf: gear button > configs > bitcoin

I’m trying to make key decisions easier. You keep forgetting that new users don’t know to delete the old standup, users don’t know to get to preferences where to find details. If you present a error to them, you also need to give them the specific actions they can do to correct that error. Don’t require them to have your understanding of bitcoin and the app.
