Getting this error when attempting to use !WriteKeyValue to RMSKIN.ini
I assume this restriction was put in for security, but I can't see how this makes things more secure?
Code: Select all
!WriteKeyValue: Illegal path: C:\Users\Carib\Documents\Droptop Data\Droptop Files\Redistributables\Basic-Version\RMSKIN.ini (Droptop\DropdownBar\DropdownBar.ini)

It is our intention that !WriteKeyValue be restricted to the "skins" or "settings" folder.
FilePath (optional): If not specified, the current skin file is used. The file must exist and must be located under either #SKINSPATH# or #SETTINGSPATH#.
We are just not going to support writing to .ini files other places like the Windows folder and such.

Ah yes. I see. I'll just move my files to the Skins folder then. Thanks.
