@Alium, I'm not sure that's related. I think that the narrow fix for that rollover issue is in the rollover code, not the prefs loading/saving code. If you want to prove it's unrelated, try it without writing to the file. This PR is strictly about the file system related issues we've been seeing.

So, can we close this as "won't fix, go get Fedora 37"?

It's not the only bad state, but it's one known bad state. It's why I'd love to see some logs or prefs files that were in bad state, to see what else we should be trying to detect. Another bad state is "my prefs were reset to the defaults". Part of the problem is that there are normal states...

I don't want to put it I this PR, but would it be worthwhile to instrument the code a bit? Or put some validation in the write or in loadPreferences? This is why I'd like to see what it actually looks like, but I'm imagining something like this. synchronized (encodedData) { for...

OK, so is there a pattern like play/sleep/get KoL logged out/wake/play/relogin? Is the problem happening because we're trying to write after we wake up and we've been logged out or the file handle is closed or something? We're not failing, but we're not succeeding the way we want.

I'm ok with making things less painful while we figure out a better long term solution. The weakest part of my approach is that I've never had this problem and I don't have any examples of corrupted preference files. Under the hood the a DB is writing to files (and DB corruption is miserable...

Do you have a session log of that?

If we're going that far, I think I'd like Frono's idea of a SQL database better. downside can't edit with a text editor, upside, can edit with a SQL client. Upside is not as good for people who don't use sql. Imagine Transactions! in the prefs... Do you happen to have the damaged prefs file?

Hmm. Wondering if something is trying to adjust inventory while hangk is being emptied. Maybe chat or pvp theft? I don’t use either frequently, but they are on different threads.

And yes, I've never seen it on my Mac, but I am also on a laptop. I also wonder if this is happening more to users with their prefs on Box or Google Drive or a NAS who forget not to open it from two different computers.

I was thinking basically along the lines of "Hey, someone is sad about their preferences getting nuked. I know that MS Word used to make a .bak file on launch to protect you from catastrophic crashes". I don't know if this would be useful and it sounds like the automated part isn't addressing...

Based on some chatter elsewhere I thought we might try to help users who are losing their prefs files by creating a backup after we successfully load prefs. Not sure if it would help, but it might. There are a lot of possible approaches and the code is working for basic use cases (prefs don't...

While it's mostly cosmetic, I think having a relay script for configuration is more accessible to non-scripters. It does require keeping your configuration as user preferences.

Hmm. We need the most current inventory to actually do anything with the maximizer results. Maybe we should abort if the inventory changes.

I agree with Chris. Error messages and warnings are appropriate. Also nudges. There's not a lot we can do if they're installing a script from the gCLI. At best we could be clippy: "It looks like you're trying to use SVN to install a script from GitHub. Would you like help forking the...

That's correct. It's in the data source correctly, but the ash function numeric_modifier relies on getModifierName, which has always stripped off anything before the ":" character in the name. I'm putting up a PR.

I've thought about `interruptScript` as well. It doesn't (immediately) let me automate, but it would keep scripters from needing to invent their own. And it might give me the infrastructure to make the automated change. Let me take a look!

I am thinking of a feature that is is being worked on for Autoscend that might make a useful platform feature. The idea is that a specified time before rollover, stop whatever we're doing and execute a Day-Ending Script. I'm thinking it would need to 1: stop any running script 2: clear the...

The page you linked is the source that registers all the library functions. It is compiled into the executable and is how ash knows what a function is. Looking at in in a particular blob is going to show you the version of that file as of Veracity's fix to get_location(); If you want whatever...

Excellent work finishing the wiki update, and thanks! Did you script it? Is is a script we could put in the talk page to replace the 13 year old one?
