I just upgraded from ;
MediaPortal-svn--04-01-2007--20-04-Rev13747.exe
to ...
MediaPortal-svn--04-08-2007--01-00-Rev13906.exe
Now the custom changed "MediaPortalDirs.xml" is ignored.
This was not the case on earlier builds.
This is the path used;
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\My Documents\Team MediaPortal
If I copy the "MediaPortalDirs.xml" file to the installation DIR overwriting the original one then again it is being ignored.
