I just tested r428 and still can not get coverflow working. Overjoy why are you 
closing issues that have not been answered of fixed?

I closed all issues that are reported and tested with revs 418 -> 426. Rev 428 
is based on 417 again.

Switching views in rev 428 is still working for me. Are you sure you have 
default.ini in your themes folder?

Thanks for your reply overjoy. That was the problem. I did a clean install 
deleting both wiiflow folders. I assumed that all ini files would be recreated 
when the program is first launched. The folders are all created and wiiflow.ini 
is created under the apps folder. However default.ini is not created. I also 
notice that GAMEID.ini under the fanart folder is not created either. Same 
thing with all of the language ini files under the language folder.

I will make myself an install kit with the Wiiflow root folder included. I will 
get these folders/files from SVN. Do I need to include the wiiflow.ini file 
from the apps folder as well? I think maybe so since the one that is self 
generated on first launch is missing fields that are contained in the SVN 
version.

With all of this said, I think this presents a problem for new users. There 
should be an install kit with this stuff in place. There used to be a started 
kit but no more. So new users have no way of setting the app up correctly. New 
users should not have to SVN to get this stuff either.

Thanks for your support...

All settings for the dif views are set in default.ini. These settings are not 
hardcoded in the app it self and thats the reason Wiiflow isn't able to create 
it. Same goes for gameid.ini and the translations.

If you launch Wiiflow with no wiiflow.ini present, Wiiflow will create an ini 
file with default settings. Default settings are hardcoded in Wiiflow. In most 
cases it's safe to use the same file for newer revs. That way you don't have to 
do the configuration again. However, sometimes we change the way Wiiflow stores 
the configuration for some options and in that case it's possible that the old 
settings conflict with the new way. 
If new options or features are added to Wiiflow that use wiiflow.ini to store 
settings, Wiiflow will create new entries for them automatically if they don't 
excist. Also not all possible settings have entries in the wiiflow.ini which is 
on svn.

I agree with you that there should be a starters kit that holds a hbc banner 
and xml file and default.ini for the theme folder should be available under 
'downloads' here on googlecode. Members of the team are working on that. 
They're also working on a new wiki. The info how to create/customize those 
other ini files will be on that wiki soon.
