Config files on all platforms
mjn.mixael:
Just curious.. are there even any legitimate scenarios for a completely launcherless environment? How is that handled on other OS platforms?
chief1983:
Before wxLauncher, Linux users pretty much had to write config files from scratch. I think that the configuration system should always be manually editable, but beyond that I don't expect anyone to want to skip using a launcher if one is available.
m!m:
The only thing the launcher does that is a little more complicated to do manually is copying the pilot files. I think the users who configure FSO manually probably can handle executing one command to migrate the pilot files (we could even print that command to stdout).
jg18:
wxL copies the pilot files? Did it always do that? I don't remember there being code for that when I was an active contributor...
m!m:
That code was added by me because the directory where FSO saves its pilot files has changed. The launcher automatically copies the pilot files when a build requiring that is launched.
