here is the XML File for AtmoWinX..
which create automaticaly on the first start.
if you create later your own Profile then i will create the same File again
only changed with your Settings and profile Name.
Sample "BassFan_provile.xml" if the Profile name BassFan

if your found any fault value please tell me so i can fix it.

i don't know what is this line :
<setting name="IgnoreConnectionErrorOnStartup" value="0"/>
but i think can be good for me

@BassFan : this file work with your working version ?

@BassFan : this file work with your working version ?

what your mean?
i'm learning XMLFoundation.
first step is create a class, serialize the XML and write it to File
so i have Default Setting on first start.

@BassFan don't know what is this line :

// m_IgnoreConnectionErrorOnStartup
if(ReadRegistryInt(mykey, configRootKey,"IgnoreConnectionErrorOnStartup",0) == 1)
   m_IgnoreConnectionErrorOnStartup = ATMO_TRUE;

no idea i will check any value if read and write to XML to
please give me a Little time

Working with Developer of XMLFoundation
so i can use Read/write to XML - Files Registry like.

//Registry..
WriteRegistryInt(mykey, configRootKey,"Ardu_BaudrateIndex", m_Ardu_BaudrateIndex); (OLD-WAY)
//XML.......
WriteXMLInt('PathFilename', 'AtmoWinX', "Ardu_BaudrateIndex", m_Ardu_BaudrateIndex); (I WILL DO THIS)
//PATH incl. FILENAME, SECTION, SETTING, VALUE

//Registry..
m_Ardu_BaudrateIndex  = ReadRegistryInt(mykey, newconfigRootKey,"Ardu_BaudrateIndex", m_Ardu_BaudrateIndex ); (OLD-WAY)
//XML.......
m_Ardu_BaudrateIndex  = ReadXMLInt('PathFilename', 'AtmoWinX',"Ardu_BaudrateIndex", 0); (I WILL DO THIS)
//PATH incl. FILENAME, SECTION, SETTING, DEFAULTVALUE

the Developer work on this.. takes a while Sorry.
Quote from Developer to!

Thank you for an honest question. They help both of us. You help me see my own library from a new angle. XML data can go in Attributes or Elements. I now realize that the examples focus on data in elements - and here you have a case of PURELY Attribute data. I don't have an example of that at all. So I will add one, today. Additionally, I am going to add this code to GProfile, and support XML or INI format because this will be a thin layer over my existing "Registry Like" support that is GProfile. I will add a GetXML() and a SetXML() to GProfile which currently represents data only in INI format. I will use this format, and make an example comparing the two.

your see also i'm working on it.

the first error found in XML..

Arducomport should be "-1" not "1" (i have fix that)

[BassFan]

reading of XML should now be simple

//ReadRegistryInt(mykey, newconfigRootKey,"ZonesTopCount",m_ZonesTopCount);
m_ZonesTopCount                  = GetProfile().GetIntOrDefault("AtmoWinX", "ZonesTopCount", 1);
//ReadRegistryInt(mykey, newconfigRootKey,"ZonesBottomCount",m_ZonesBottomCount);
m_ZonesBottomCount               = GetProfile().GetIntOrDefault("AtmoWinX", "ZonesBottomCount", 1);
//ReadRegistryInt(mykey, newconfigRootKey,"ZonesLRCount",m_ZonesLRCount);
m_ZonesLRCount                   = GetProfile().GetIntOrDefault("AtmoWinX", "ZonesLRCount", 1);
//(ReadRegistryInt(mykey, newconfigRootKey,"ZoneSummary",m_ZoneSummary) != 0);
m_ZoneSummary                    = (GetProfile().GetIntOrDefault("AtmoWinX", "ZoneSummary", m_ZoneSummary) != 0);

How you think manage profil ?
all inside 1 file or

<section name="Profil1">
<setting name="Ardu_BaudrateIndex" value="0"/>
<setting name="Arducomport" value="1"/>
<setting name="ColorChanger_iDelay" value="25"/>
<setting name="ColorChanger_iSteps" value="50"/>
<setting name="comport" value="1"/>.
...
</section>
<section name="Profil2">
<setting name="Ardu_BaudrateIndex" value="0"/>
<setting name="Arducomport" value="1"/>
<setting name="ColorChanger_iDelay" value="25"/>
<setting name="ColorChanger_iSteps" value="50"/>
<setting name="comport" value="1"/>.
...
</section>

each profil have their file

<section name="Profil 1">
<setting name="Ardu_BaudrateIndex" value="0"/>
<setting name="Arducomport" value="1"/>
<setting name="ColorChanger_iDelay" value="25"/>
<setting name="ColorChanger_iSteps" value="50"/>
<setting name="comport" value="1"/>.
...
</section>

 

[BassFan]

no.. sorry.

every Profile created a full copy of the Default XML..
so i think is better in the future use for any Profil a own XML
then you can create backups of this and has no Trouble if the first on (Default destroyed or what ever)

or what your mean exactly?
i have update the branch..

each profil have their file

each Profile used all from Default XML.
create a Profile and search in the registry for AtmoWinX then
Show in the root of AtmoWinX and then in Root of your Profile

or what your mean exactly?

your answer
if profil setting was saved in the same files or in their own files.

their own files is fine for me ..

PS : What do you think to move Atmowin folder in "Programdata/Atmowin" or "PData/Team MP/Atmowin" directly ?
instead of Team MP. / MediaPortal, because tommorow for use with MP2. not the same folder ...
and like you, use Atmowin without MP .... hehee
