URL Prefs oddity
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:40 pm
Just a question here as i'm really puzzled now.
I was looking for some hints on how the URL prefs are being configured and why they are configured by default the way they are.
I couldn't find any hints...so i did what i always do, lod the Prefs file into Notepad and skim through the readable text
Look what i found:
Starting from line 30 upto line 84
Ok...so what's doing a whole bunch of the Screenmode prefs text in there?
As you can see the URL prefs really only start after line 84.
While i'm pretty sure that the text above isn't used in any way in the URL prefs it still makes me wonder...WHY is it there?
Was URL Prefs recycled from Screenmode Prefs?
BTW: I found the info i was looking for, so mission accomplished
