ESB launching DSB

Post by Ser Xav »

Hi, DSB has dsb.ini file with various settings, one of them is the DoubleWindow mode, for 2x the window size when dSB is running. Is it possible to have ESB adopt these settings when running the 'Test in DSB' function? When I launch DSB directly it respects the .ini, but when it's launched via ESB, it seems not to use the dsb.ini. Thanks!

I just tested it and it works fine for me. Please give me a more detailed description of what you're doing so we can figure out what you've done wrong.

Ok, so....what is wrong, is that I'm a muppet... :oops: I had just installed 0.84 DSB (and had just discovered the power of the ini file and 2x mode...) and hadn't updated the ESB editor shortcut (I thought I had, but shortcuts also have this odd "start in" filepath I hadn't noticed before) So my ESB was running via an older version (0.83), and using the dsb.ini from that location, whilst DSB was running at 0.84... [shame mode: initiated]. Probably worth deleting this post entirely please!

I'm glad you figured it out. :mrgreen:

I'm not going to delete the post, because I think that "make sure your shortcuts are pointing to the right place" is helpful advice and may help someone else down the line. (Not just to keep your shame on public display :P )

Ok.... so to celebrate my "success" I created a custom ESB icon:
