Confusion with configuration XML files
Setup (please complete the following information):
- Distribution: Slackware64-current
- Distribution release: [-current]
- Geeqie version 2.6.1, AFAIK in X11 mode.
Describe the bug Strange behaviour with .config/geeqie files: 1. After deletion of the .config/geeqie folder, and starting geeqie: warning of files not found (expected) 2. Closing geeqie and reopening geeqie: No complaints 3. Opening a new instance (Ctl-N): Again complains about non-existing config files 4. default_window_layout.xml' is never created, but does not create an error in case 2.
To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Re-enact the cases as above
Expected behavior If relevant, describe what you expected to happen. No error popups after the first run and restart. No error popups on subsequent starts.
Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
Image sources If applicable, upload image files causing the bug. (Use gzip)
Error logs or seg. fault files On apparition of the complaints for missing config files, and clicking the error popup, the following appears on the terminal:
Error reading configuration file: /home/john/.config/geeqie/geeqierc.xml - Failed to open file “/home/john/.config/geeqie/default_window_layout.xml”: No such file or directory
Error reading configuration file: /home/john/.config/geeqie/geeqierc.xml - Failed to open file “/home/john/.config/geeqie/default_window_layout.xml”: No such file or directory
Additional context I've been using geeqie for ages now, on several machines. This error popped up in version 2.6.1. XFCE4 is version 4.20.
. Opening a new instance (Ctl-N):
Control-N open a new default window, and not a new instance.
Please try this:
Open a new window
Set it to look as you would prefer
Open Edit/Preferences/Windows
On option Set Current Layout For Default, click the Set button.
