Where are the profiles saved? #20

Closed thomasf closed 7 years ago

thomasf commented 7 years ago

I'd like to edit them with a text editor, if possible.. The GUI is too clunky when managing many profiles.

thomasf commented 7 years ago

btw..

I have kind of started coding a linux only (for now) command line programmer.. I haven't started implementing the BT stuff yet but I have divided the configurations into four/five data types:

  1. A palettes/color scheme
  2. A color mapping layout which uses a palette
  3. A key mapping layout (maybe considering having the fn-layer config separated)
  4. A Preset (a combination of any of 1-3)

I'll probably go for a text only config format, at least to start with..

kprinssu commented 7 years ago

The config files are stored in temporary folder and the path changes for each system. Take a look at https://github.com/kprinssu/anne-keyboard-windows/blob/master/AnneProKeyboard/MainPage.xaml.cs#L101 for more information.

Feel free to make a Linux port!

If you got an idea for an improved UI, then submit a PR. I'll review and merge it.

Most of the byte array logic is in the app, if you run into issues just ping me and I'll help out.

Thanks for the info and the ground work for the BT communication stuff.

I did search for a KeyboardProfilesData file in my users local app data folder.. I probably did some mistake, I haven't developed for windows API's for at least 15 years so I have no idea how all those things works now.. I'll probably figure it out.

found it by mounting the partition and searching form my linux os... I'm the worst at windows, it seems like I can't even find files correctly :)
