Re: where is Featured Demo kept?

2018-11-18 Thread * William
Hi Emilian,

Nope it seems to be a build-in limitation.  I've done some more poking
largely due to some other hassles and lucked(??) upon some more details.
Short version here is:

   - "Feature Demo" somehow configured within the "--cachedir" (yes the
   cache)
   - Something else in the "--userdir" is pointing to that item in cache!

You can't just save a user directory and expect to see your "Feature demo"
feed.  I am working to set-up a "baseline" with the plugins and config I
want.  So I was able to test some of those variables and pairing.

Good thought.  Thanks.

where is Featured Demo kept?

Hi all ...

This is such a small matter and for some reason It just keeps bugging me.
This little fee -- I imagine it is an RSS or something -- Keep vanishing.

Can one of the kind people on the list tell me where this is kept?  The
file name and what URL it is supposed to grab ... Inorder for me to fix it
when  it breaks as it so frequently does (as now).

I'm setting up a new PC and about 10 min. ago the "Featured demo" was
showing a netbeans 9 announcement.  Now it is dead.

Sometime ago when I put a bug against this the answer is to blow away my
user directory.  That's one answer.

I'd much rather just fix it manually with an editor and proceed.

My thanks in advance,

  Will.
