Unable to save config on windows

Do you close it correct? 0.17.0 only saves on close.

I'll try to reproduce.

I tried to close it both via menu and cross in upper-right corner. Same thing.

Just tested it on windows 2000.
Worked for me.

Where is it supposed to put the config? I can probably generate one on my linux machine and use it.

It is strange it is working for you. I followed installation guide on wiki. Only step I wasn't sure about was installation of runtime but I guess if it works (everything other then saving config) i did it right.

Is there a way to enable debug output? Something that would help track this down?

problem not solved yet.

normally in c:\Documents and settings\Your username\.gmpc\

Getting debug on windows is not easy, you need something like gdb.
Debug output is spit to terminal, however not sure how todo this on windows. if you manage run gmpc with gmpc --debug-level=3.

Sorry, those two buttons are really close together.

So, managed to get debug output. I don't fully understand it but looks like the problem is in á character in the path. But it is just a guess.

Here is the debug: http://gregy.cz/gmpc.debug

Can you try gmpc --config=c:\gmpc.txt see if that works

The filename should work, windows uses utf8 for filename, and I get the path using g_get_home_dir();

I assume there is no gmpc.cfg?

Is there a .covers dir inside c:\Documents and Settings\username\ ?
if so does it contain files?

ok. reproduced.

Tried gmpc --config=c:\gmpc.txt . It succesfully creates config file however profile file remains uncreated. If I change profile path within gmpc.txt then everything works. Problem appears to be in the path.

I do not think windows use utf8. I think they use different codepages (cp1250 here) based on localization.

Did a little testing. Appears that any "special" character in path causes the bug (like --config=C:\Nová složka\gmpc.txt)

yes. I am busy building a new version that should fix it.

OK, thank you.

Ok. It will be fixed in a next version..
I made a build that works, I can give you the build, but there is a problem with it :(.

I can wait for the next version. Now that I know what causes the problem I can bypass it by the --config option. But once again thank you very much. I hope your enthusiasm for gmpc won't fade :) .

If you get this one: http://download.sarine.nl/gmpc-win32/gmpc-06012009-2303.zip
and install the developement kit from gladewin32.sf.net: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe

It should work..

I am rebuilding one now that also fixes the issue in some plugins.

hmm that --config fix won't fix covers.

Works perfectly (06012009-2303). I have not tested all the plugins though.

it ships with plugins.
