Hi, icepanther ! Thanks for further developing your tool! Please consider my report as a help to improve the tool, not as critics: I can not figure where the program stores actual ENBIniSorter.exe.config, because I tried to change the one which inside the program's folder, specifically, set "doBackup" parameter from "true" to "false", but when I run the program, the "Create backup file" option is still checked. However if I change options in GUI, they being saved, but not in ENBIniSorter.exe.config. I am confused
This is because of how the .NET Framework stores the application settings, it's not really my design decision (to develop this application quickly, I did use the integrated .NET settings feature).
They are in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ENBIniSorter\ENBIniSorter.exe_Url_(something.net generates)\(version)\user.config
If this is really annoying or hard to deal with, I could try and make my own settings infrastructure, but I didn't yet as this would be more time consuming.
Hi icepanther, thanks for this great tool, which I've always wanted. Endorsed, and given Kudos to you.
Btw I'm the author of WinMerge Plugins for TES-FO-TW3 Modders, now provided a plugin for comparing Ini files using your tool. Of course, my tool didn't include your tools, so that users of my tools will download your tools from your page.
And I have noticed some issues on v1.1: - command line options --comment-enb and --comment-skyrim work in reverse. - Duplicate section or entry names result in "Unknown error", but in general, if there is a duplicate name in the ini file, the one that appears later has priority, so it might be better to do so. This should be a problem when comparing Oblivion, Fallout3 and FalloutNV ini files (default ini has duplicate entries).
Hi, icepanther! Thanks for your handy sorting tool! Looking forward to see this tool as a universal INI sorting solution because a long journey of modding is always leads people to compare two INI files not only for ENB but also for Skyrim INI's, Creation Kit and so on. For now I have to enter an asterisk in browse window to bypass file type restriction which is... a bit uncomfortable Command line parameters for reading file from %1 would be nice too.
Here you go ! Now it should work with both ENB and generally any INI files. Don't hesitate to tell me if you encounter any problems with this new version.

For instance on my machine they are in :
C:\Users\IcePanther\AppData\Local\ENBIniSorter\ENBIniSorter.exe_Url_r2o5uul1zhen2vo1qztvftcvo5bhtpkc\1.1.0.0\user.config

Many thank!
I'm busy right now, but I'll get to correcting those as soon as I can. Thanks for the report !
This is now fixed in the latest version (1.1.1).
Wow, many thanks. I will try that soon.
Thanks a lot for your work.
