Hello,[[BR]][[BR]]There's a bug in vidalia-bundle when changing the
location for the settings file from [user]\Application Data\Tor and
[user]\Application Data\Tor\Vidalia to the new directories for your
settings.[[BR]][[BR]]How it happens:[[BR]][[BR]]I want to change the
location for the vidalia-bundle settings, I open the settings window and
make the changes. If I then delete the folders created before
automatically by the program in [user]\Application Data, then the Tor
Network Map does not work. The map doesn't show the connections and when
right clicking on a relay, zoom to relay doesn't work because tor needs
the file [user]\Application Data\Tor\geoip to be present and doesn't use
the one you have in your new settings folder.[[BR]][[BR]][[BR]]Also,
moving the settings folder from application_data is really
difficult.[[BR]][[BR]]I have to copy the folders tor and vidalia from
app_data to the new location, because tor needs me to show the path to the
new "torrc" file instead of creating a default one itself, automatically.
So you need a torrc file from start and the program doesn't create
one.[[BR]][[BR]]Another problem is that the settings are stored and
updated in app_data\vidalia\vidalia.conf (the old directory) and are not
updated in the new_directory\vidalia.conf. So if you delete the app_data
directory, you loose your new settings. That's why you need to copy again
the files from app_data to new_directory before you delete the default
folder from app_data.[[BR]][[BR]]How changing the settings should work:
Tor should create a new "torrc" file on its own on the new location, and
the new new vidalia.conf should be updated when the settings
change.[[BR]]The problem with the slashes instead of backslashes for the
path should be fixed.[[BR]][[BR]]There's a bug when changing the field
value: Settings> Advanced> Data Directory. After selecting the new path
for the directory, the path is written with "/" instead of "\". After
clicking ok and closing the settings window, the reopening it, the path is
ok, with \.[[BR]][[BR]]I used Windows XP, latest vidalia-
bundle-0.2.2.33-0.2.14-1.exe. Older versions had the same problem.[[BR]]I
hope you can fix these problems. Thanks!
[[BR]][[BR]]Sincerely,[[BR]]dfsjafi[[BR]]
