Don't edit prefs.js ...
Authored by: poultryfarm on Nov 07, '02 03:28:22PM

both methods don't seem to work for me.

with the original hint the file seems to get written over - automatically generated.
and i tried the user.js method but my cache folder still seems to be filling up with files.

chimera knows to look in user.js or do i need to tell it to look there?
am i missing something.

user.js problems--anyone else?

Is anyone else seeing problems getting user.js working? To get prefs.js to 'keep' changes, make sure you edit the file while Chimera is NOT running. But I just CAN'T get Chimera to read user.js...no matter what I do. I'm running the most recent nightly build, and don't want to file a bug report until I can possibly figure out what is going on. So it looks like at least two of us see it :)

i did do that but it is still not 'keeping' . as soon as i quit chimera and restart it has overwritten the file.

Well, something else I found: make sure the file ENDS with an empty line. There should be one there in the default...also, i usually add stuff into the middle of the file; it seemed that when I added things to the end, they would get dropped off for some reason.
