Open Configuration File doesn't work in new wallet #63

Hi, I am trying to create the MAsternode from my CHC Wallet, but clicking on Open Configuration File doesn't open it...

Before writing here, please, visit our slack masternode channels. You can't simply come here and write that "something doesn't work". We need error messages and other, more informative data.

I have done that. Nothing helped. There is no message, as it just does not open the configuration file when you click on the menu item: open configuration file. However, you can click Open Debug Console and it will open or Show Automatic Backups, opens also. And I was redirected to here from the Slack channel, sir.

Ok, all good. But now you have experienced the difference between forums, chats...and github. So, we will see what we can do. As you are the only one reporting this problem we can't simply generalize it. Too risky to change anything.

Regards,

@raympie1977 I did some tests here. What I found is when doesn't exist the file chaincoin.conf into the chaincoin folder and then we click on Tools / Open Configuration File it wont open anything. One easy way to fix it is: Open the Terminal app and type: touch ~/.chaincoin/chaincoin.conf Then it will work. Remember, chaincoin.conf is the configuration related the wallet and masternode locally. If you want control masternode remotely, you need to have a file called masternode.conf. Where you will add all your masternodes.
You can follow this guide: https://toaster.chaincoin.org/docs/convert_masternode_to_controller.pdf

The masternode.conf file has to be created inside the folder ~/.chaincoin as well.

If I'm not mistake, the wallet should create an empty chaincoin.conf file when it starts up for the first time.

@suprnurd you are correct. The wallet is working properly. Tools>Open Configuration File is working and allows for editing.

It does the same on MacOS. The configuration file is in Library/Application Support/Chaincoin but when I click Tools>Open Configuration File it does nothing.
