Protracker 2.3 bizarre behaviour with icon

Hello folks,

Protracker 2.3d on my A600 gets all weird when I use a icon with its executable file. Here's what happens: I put a .info icon on PT2 folder with the same name as the executable and when I open PT2, all the configurations are gone. If I go to the setup screen, set again all the parameters and paths for mods, samples, config file, etc, these paths and parameters disappear when I exit the program. And if I delete the .info icon file from the PT2 folder, everything gets normal again and the config file opens correctly. Any idea what could it be?

Thanks guys!

It should start from CLI so maybe you should delete .info file and change startup-sequence to avoid WB.

Nah, this good old version should work fine with WB, if you have a correct exe. Sounds more like a wrongly specified path or something, or config file not installed in the right dir (s: ?).

Photon, the config file is in S:, but still it doesn't "hold" the setup parameters from PT after I quit. About this being some path issue, I really have no idea where to begin looking for it

Maybe different versions save the config file to different targets. Not always S. Also other programms like AudioMasterIV have this issue (depends on where you start it. wb/cli). SnoopDOS will tell you where. PT2.3 can save different (00 to 99) configs. Default should be PT.config-00. Just some hits you may already know.

daxb: I guess that's where the issue is happening: if I start the program on the command line, it recalls the last path I setup (S). If I start it in wb, it always set the PT path (where is the help and config files) to ST-00:

Gonna give SnoopDOS a shot later and see if it helps me out. Thanks!

Well, SnoopDOS tells me the obvious: Protracker keeps trying to save the config files on ST-00

Is there some way I can mount a virtual drive called "ST-00", so I could assign the folder S to this drive with the Assign command? That's the only thing I can think of to solve this.

Perhaps I don't get the point. But why not try this:
assign ST-00: S:

SHIT! I was thinking right but typing wrong!

Put the command on user-startup and now everything is just fine. Thanks a lot for your help guys!

I start PT2.3 via script that is launched by Icon through IconX. Config file is saved to progdir:.

André n00b! :P

My PT2.3 crashes if I Start it from Workbench on certain screenmodes (like teh DoublePAL I use). So I boot it from CLI. I have made a special config that autostarts PT when I boot and leave the space bar pressed. Handy! Boots into PT in seconds

I use that too. Good if you need max. chipram for mod.
