Description fileshifter (reporter) 2010-11-03 12:35:34 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
20.2010.36-2 ('PR 1.3')

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Start evopedia, dialog appears telling me there are no dumps, click done
2. Menu->Configure dumps,  add dump, navigate to
~/MyDocs/evopedia/wikipedia_en_2010-06-22
3. It gets accepted, I'm now able to browse the whole dump. yay.
4. Close evopedia
5. Start evopedia - it forgot the dump and I have to choose it again, every
time I start evopedia.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:
lot's a

OTHER COMMENTS:
There's no ~/.evopediarc after I close evopedia, so either that file isn't
where it keeps the settings anymore (got that info from the wiki), or it
doesn't save it.

Also, for some reason it's in german for me and I don't see how to change that.
I don't want it in german and the device language I set is en_UK, although I am
located in Switzerland.

And, although this may be another bug/feature request, it's impossible to
choose a folder that starts with a dot. I'd like to put all my dumps in
~/MyDocs/.evopedia but I can't choose that folder because the in-gui folder
chooser doesn't show dotfiles. Maybe that's possible by editing .evopediarc but
I don't have that file.

Apart from that, it's a nifty app btw. Good stuff.

This part of the code has been completely rewritten in the meantime, so it is
unlikely that the bug is still there. The other two bugs/feature requests will
be investigated.

Some quick suggestions for manual fixes:

If you put the following in /home/user/.evopediarc, it should work:

--------------------------
[evopedia]
port=8080
version=0.3.0
listen_address=0.0.0.0
use_gps=yes
maptile_repositories=

[dump_en_2010-06-22]
data_directory=/home/user/MyDocs/wikipedia/wikipedia_en_2010-06-22

---------------------
Of course, you have to adjust the path to the data directory.

For the language issue, could you try setting the language to en_US?
