how to disable backup before Tidy?

[orbs]

being my usual self i'm probably missing the obvious here. i saw the tidy ini file, but the comments says that if i set the versions count to zero it means infinite backup. so how do i disable it completely?

(also, i'm somewhat at inconvenience that my personal preferences are stored in the Program Files folder. it will be removed if i uninstall or reinstall AutoIt. i'd expect it to be in the user profile. i did find many au3 related files in the profile root (not the ideal place - better be in a subfolder. me thinks), but that's SciTe config, not Tidy.)

You can't as Tidy updates the source and creates a new file, so I won't be held accountable for any screwup by Tidy, hence there is always one latest version... the original.

Isn't this the case in the latest couple of versions of the SciTE4AutoIt3 installer?

understood, thanks.

that may be, but i'm not interested in SciTe config, but with Tidy config. is there a way i modify it - for example, change the backup folder path - and keep the config not in the Program Files folder? (i'm not referring to wrapper directives, i want it for all my scripts)

Sorry, but it is still not clear to me. The tidy config file is located in %LOCALAPPDATA%AutoIt v3SciTETidy when you have used the installer and SCITE_USERHOME exists.

The tidy config file is located in %LOCALAPPDATA%AutoIt v3SciTETidy when you have used the installer and SCITE_USERHOME exists.

 

i first noticed it in "C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3SciTETidy", hence i guess the confusion. now i see it also exists in the path you mentioned. however i can not get it to work. here's what i did:

i copied TidyV2_Example.ini to TidyV2.ini and changed as follows:

* * *   Target backup directory which defaults to Scriptdir\Backup. Any other directory needs to exist or else it will use the default directory!
backupDir=C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp

(my username is "user", the path exists - it's my %TEMP% folder).

re-launched SciTe, did Tidy => backup file was still saved in scriptdirbackup.

tried with %TEMP% => same result. removed the V2 suffix => same result.

what am i missing?

Works fine for me, What do you see in the SciTE console when doing Ctrl+T?

It tells you what the backup file is:

+> Tidy AutoIt3 finished. Original copied to:"C:\Users\Jos\AppData\Local\temp\test_old1.au3"

Can you show me the total content of tidy.ini as well?

the console output shows that the backup file is created in the scriptdirbackup folder (that's how i know my config does not apply). i also delete this folder constantly, and it is re-created by Tidy.

this be the file C:UsersuserAppDataLocalAutoIt v3SciTETidyTidy.ini

i'm using AutoIt v3.3.10.2 (SciTe v3.3.7, Tidy v2.4.0.0), but that's after several upgrades and re-installations. i plan to make a clean installation on a VM for further testing.

Looks like you are running an old version which doesn't support the new setup.

 

*** Updated Tidy v2.4.0.1 (Jos) - Added support for SCITE_USERHOME.

thanks, i'll (eventually...) upgrade.
