Support forum for DG Tools

Since the last splipstream (107) (or Win10 update?) certain settings (like demux audio, position of the Information panel, log file creation) are reset in the .ini whenever I launch DGIndecNV with a doubleclick on a .264 file (associated with DGIndexNV).
Has anyone seen this as well?

I'll check it out. I want to get rid of the INI file and have all options available via a dialog.

Hope this is relevant, just tried right-click > open-with and the ini did not reset, all settings and locations stayed as previously set

Everything OK here too.

Thanks both for checking.
Strange, it happens here even when I start the DGIndexNV.exe directly, so it's not related to a file extension association as I wrote in the initial post.
I can reproduce the issue with slipstream 107. I rolled back to version 103 and all is fine. So it seems to me that something has changed with version 107.
It is even not consistent. Sometimes the previous setting is kept, but typically the .ini gets reset to Enable_Info_Log=1 and Enable_Audio_Demux=1. Nothing dramatic, just a bit annoying.

The only possible cause I can see from inspecting the code is that your INI file is marked read-only or it is missing entirely.

Can you double check your path to DGIndexNV.exe and make sure you have a writable INI file there?

Another thing to try is delete the INI file, then open DGIndexNV and close it immediately.

If you still have the issue I can make a debug build for you.

No avail.
It seems that the .ini which is in the same folder as DGIndexNV.exe is re-created with default settings almost every time I start DGIndexNV.exe.

??? The INI file is written only on closing, not starting.

Open DGIndexNV. Change Enable Info Log so it is not checked. Then close DGIndexNV. What does the INI file show now?

1. It sets it to 0 in the .ini as expected.
2. Now I start DGIndexNV.exe. Enable Info Log is unchecked, as expected.
3. Now I close DGindexNV. The .ini is kept at 0, as expected.
4. Now I open DGIndexNV.exe, and the Enable Info Log is checked (as if the .ini was ignored) => unexpected
5. Now I close DGIndexNV.exe, and the .ini is set to 1 (as expected because of the unexpected checkmark of step 4.)

So the problem is step 4 where some magic ticks the Enable Info Log although it is 0 (false) in the .ini.
The unexpected tickmark may already appear at step 2. So it seems to be random as to when it happens.

Therefore it seems that the tickmarks of the menu get correctly mapped to the .ini when closing DGIndexNV.exe, but when launching DGIndexNV.exe the .ini is incorrectly (or randomly) mapped to tickmarks.

Open DGIndexNV. Change Enable Info Log so it is not checked. Then close DGIndexNV. What does the INI file show now?

Just retested using this procedure
x64 (which is the version I normally use) behaves properly, however
x86 version behaves as Sharc says

@Sharc
Are you using the 32 bit or 64 bit version of DGIndexNV

Ah, that's interesting. I am on 32 bit version! Thanks for your testing.

@Donald
No rush with fixing. Just finalize your paper first!

Need me to test anything?
As Sharc said --- your paper first

I spaced out when adding the slipstream number to the prints and reads. Give me a few minutes for a fix. It's random, could happen with x64 too.

OK, fixed and slipstreamed.

I had to take a break from the paper, because I discovered one of my windows was leaking and making black mold in my wall. Stachybotrys? No way, Jose! Full DIY alert level.

Yep, I confirm it's fixed.
(DGIndexNV I mean, I don't know about your window ......)

Thanks for the update. Trust me, the window is fixed too.

Hi all,

funny. Just registered to post the same issue. And before my registration got confirmed I browsed the forum and found this topic. Downloaded the latest version and can confirm it is solved for me, too.
Using 32 bit version on Win 7 64 bit.

Thank you for the ultra-fast support
