Dolphin 4.0-4003 Deletes ISO Directories
0%
Description
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
When starting Dolphin 4.0-4003 the previously saved ISO directories are no longer saved.
What did you expect to happen instead?
I expected my game library to load from my previously set ISO directories.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Start Dolphin 4.0-4003.
- Check ISO Directories in the configuration page.
- No directories are listed.
Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
4.0.2, 4.0-4000, 4.0-4003
Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
Yes, 4.0-4000 works.
What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Intel Core i7-2600K

A setting changed; you need to re-add your ISO directories. As far as I know... this is intended, unfortunately.

The configuration option was changed.
It was expected behaviour.
Re-add your ISO directories.

Alright, I wasn't sure if this was intentional or not. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, it's a bit silly imo, but, I guess that's the limitation of our stupid config system.

Re-opening this issue.
Sometime before the next stable release, we should add code to dolphin to import the old settings if no settings are found under the new name.
I caused this issue with PR #1264

The problem with this issue is that, I know what needs to be done to fix it, (It's actually fairly simple), but I'm not sure I'm able to fix it with my limited knowledge of C++.
Basically, if we don't find any settings under the new file/variable names, (ISOPaths, RecursiveISOPaths, DefaultISO, etc), we should check for the old variable names. If those are found, they should just be copied and renamed to match the new naming scheme.

Carl Kenner: At a quick glance, it seems that Dolphin VR just clears the old directory settings, rather than importing them.

Oh wait, nevermind. I read that completely wrong. My bad.
Anyway, I'll try and get this fixed as soon as possible.
