Full Version: Linux mint

Moi opens & works just fine using Wine in Linux Mint (I'm using the xfce version) but does anyone know where moi.ini file should go?
Also the customUI, objects, etc are all set up in my C: drive as they would be in windows, but they aren't accessible - all I'm getting is the default view, although I'm able to access the scripts if I set up new shortcuts (but I really don't want to have to do that for every one of them....)

Addendum: After copy/pasting the .ini I can find (ie the one in AppData/Roaming/Moi) I have all my commands, but still no object library etc

Help!!

Hi Raven, when running on Wine Moi will use a directory .moi inside your user dir for appdata.

for example moi.ini will go in ~/.moi/moi.ini and you'll have ~/.moi/commands for appdata commands, etc...

Also you should be able to see where the moi.ini file is located by using Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button. That will bring up a dialog that shows the path to the moi.ini that is currently being used.

STOP PRESS

Ok I've figured out that Linux Mint uses a slightly different folder hierarchy for its .exe installed apps (using Wine)
Instead of AppData/Roaming/Moi it uses Home/username/.moi

Everything up & running just fine and dandy and all is well in the world. Sometimes it's nice to have a brain that works ok :)

Hi Raven,

It's actually not Linux Mint doing that - it's part of MoI's wine integration that it uses a dotfile in your user dir and shows native linux paths for the recent files list.

Good to know - will it do the same on any Linux distro?
I've converted my old laptop to Linux as a sort of Canary to see if I can set up my usual workflows on it without too much messing around - if I can do that then I'll run Linux on my better machines as well.

Hi Raven,

Yup, should be same behavior on any distro.
