Stuck on "Searching directories" #42

Open gb02002 opened 1 year ago

gb02002 commented 1 year ago

Using Fedora 38, after adding directories and restarting got in infinite searching loop. Which file contains observation directories so I can edit it manually? Reinstalling didn't help.

Default search is ~/.conky.

The file ~/.config/conky-manager2.json will show among other things, the extra search locations:

  "search-locations" : [
  ]

When you add one:

  "search-locations" : [
    "~/.conky.dev"
  ]

When you add two:

  "search-locations" : [
    "~/.conky.dev",
    "~/.theme-tests"
  ]

Also, if you add a location(s) with a massive quantity of files then it will take longer to parse. (ie. https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2/issues/34) -so be aware, it might actually be working correctly, only taking a very long time to parse 1000's of files.
