Summary

0000441: conf file cannot be changed on the fly

Description

Hello -

using aMule 2.0.1 on Linux

I have been using aMule for quite a while, however there is no information on the aMule.conf file - on the web site, on the docs with the sources, etc. Wouldn't it better to provide the sources with aMule.conf.sample with comments? For instance - how should one configure the notifier with sound? where to write the program which should play? couldn' t these options be on the GUI? As well as those for the preview player?

Besides that, the aMule.conf file cannot be changed on the fly. If we change it with a text editor, it is overwritten by aMule itself after a few moments. Changes only stay if editing the file when aMule is not running...

Notes
(0000983) fcardone (reporter) 2005-05-19 13:35	Apparently, aMule should have a preferences option called "notifications". This is missing in my aMule... is it always missing in Linux or is it a bug?

(0000986) Kry (manager) 2005-05-20 02:04	It's not implemented yet. About changing it on the fly... there's no way.

(0001133) Xaignar (manager) 2005-07-15 00:19	Closing. There's really nothing to fix here, the file is not meant to be changed through anything but the prefs-dialog. If an option is not available through the GUI, then it hasn't been implemented, though the these "missing" options are no longer written to the conf-file to avoid confusion.
