Unable to use different profiles for different games with the same executable name. #276

This specific problem cropped up because of Tales from the Borderlands. The executables for both Borderlands 1 and Tales from the Borderlands are both named "Borderlands", preventing you from creating separate profiles for them.

Same thing with a lot of other games that title their exes simply as 'game.exe'.

Welcome to what we've had to deal with even all the way back to the days of nHancer for NVIDIA drivers.

The only real way to get unique entries is to include a part of the folder path leading up to the exe, as is done in video driver profiles. Maybe someone can add support for that to GeDoSaTo. (boy I wish I learned to code all those years ago)

Until then.. guess you gotta just rename configs depending on the game you want to play.

Try doing the launchers instead. I've never had this problem because I don't have any games with the same exe name :P

PeterTh commented 8 years ago

Yeah, I expected this to be a problem at some point. I guess I'll have to do the folder path thing when I get the time.

SwinglesMan commented 8 years ago

As long as it's not copy and paste the whole directory into the ini. Hope you can do that internally without changing the way we input the process names.

PeterTh commented 8 years ago

No, if I implement it at all it will be "one directory up" (which should be the same for everyone).
