Can not load config_0 #137

Closed acgtyrant closed 9 years ago

acgtyrant commented 9 years ago

I linked dotfiles/Tilda/.config/tilda/config_0 to .config/tilda/config, but the tilda does not load this config, i have removed the config_1, there is only config_0 in .config/tilda.

I dont know what you mean by dotfiles/Tilda Anyway each config file must end with an underscore and a number 0 to n, there will always be one config file for each instance that is running. Why are you creating symlinks to the config files in the first place?

acgtyrant commented 9 years ago

I would like to backup tilda's config and store it in https://github.com/acgtyrant/dotfiles, I can restore this config via stow Tilda.

However, I reinstalled my Arch Linux and restore this config, I noticed that there is config_1, but Tilda still does no load config_0 after I removed config_1.

Sorry for my typo in the first post, it is "I linked dotfiles/Tilda/.config/tilda/config_0 to .config/tilda/config_0" exactly.

The first tilda process you start will load its config from config_0, if you start tilda a second time, it will load its config from config_1 and so one. If you create a symlink from

~/.config/tilda/config_0 -> ~/some/other/place/config_0 then tilda should read it.

Here is an example from my ~/.config/tilda folder:

-rw-rw-r--  1 myusr mygrp 2.1K Apr 10 17:41 config
lrwxrwxrwx  1 myusr mygrp    6 Apr 10 17:40 config_0 -> config

I am closing this issue as I think this is not a problem in tilda.

acgtyrant commented 9 years ago

You are right, I find my config_0 is covered by a new default config_0 which is created by Tilda actually...

I will remove this config_0 and link my backup again.
