Hi Brett,

I often take backups of my xap-livebox.ini due to the occasional corruption as dicussed many times in other threads

just wondered if you had any more thoughts on a workaround or fix that would put an end to the corruptions

there was some talk of seperating ini files - http://homeautomationhub.com/content/lock-ups#comment-1702

Thanks

Andrew

Andrew,

This problem is of a concern.  I have had some idea to overhaul the configuration system as I've not been able to isolate the reason why.
Instead of having a single configuration file I was going to split it into multiple files, one for each component.
This way if there is a corruption at least it will be contained to one sub-system and it won't affect others, I think doing this would probably make the issue go away too.

I might bring this plan forward.  Its quite an overhaul.

Brett

Brett,

 

Sounds like a possible solution but as you say a lot of work required, i wondered if there was a way to prehaps to keep a copy of the ini and only overwrite / delete once the save has completed.
