Duplicate section in DmdDevice.ini => empty .ini file #380

Closed elabree closed 1 year ago

elabree commented 1 year ago

Let's confess 1st: "I used Notepad++ to modify the .ini"

Unfortunately I made a mistake: my DmdDevice.ini contained two entries for the same game/rom (I forgot to rename the copy). After starting VPX the virtual DMD appears at the default location with default size.

As a result I ended up with a DmdDevice.ini containing 1 entry for the table I was running. All virtual dmd and other settings gone :-(

In the DmdDevice.log:

 [1] 2023/06/10 15:12:28.056 ERROR | Error parsing .ini file at D:\vPinball\VisualPinball\VPinMAME\DmdDevice.ini: Duplicate section with name 'wd_12' on line '[wd_12]' while parsing line number 0 with value '' - IniParser version: 2.5.2.0 while parsing line number 1064 with value '[wd_12]' - IniParser version: 2.5.2.0 IniParser.Exceptions.ParsingException: Duplicate section with name 'wd_12' on line '[wd_12]' while parsing line number 0 with value '' - IniParser version: 2.5.2.0 while parsing line number 1064 with value '[wd_12]' - IniParser version: 2.5.2.0 ---> IniParser.Exceptions.ParsingException: Duplicate section with name 'wd_12' on line '[wd_12]' while parsing line number 0 with value '' - IniParser version: 2.5.2.0

Although this happened because I messed up the DmdDevice.ini I think it might happen to others. So maybe it's worthwile to see if this situation can be handled more elegantly ?

Do you still have the entire log, to be sure which version you were using? I think this might got already fixed.

Thanks for your response. Yes this is the log:

Okay, I've tested this and it seems to be fine. Build here if you want to re-test.

Fixed in #374.
