Yes. This is correct. swconfig works agains a single .conf file, theoretically. That's is goal. You can .augment the swconfig with another swconfig but when you save the augmented config, it will place all data into it's original config file. SWMgr uses swconfig in a much more complicated way. It knows that a sword module set can be a series of .conf files in a mods.d directory, or a single mods.conf file. If it finds the mods.d directory, it creates a single swconfig and augments all .conf file into this config. This augmented config file will never be .Save()'d It would take much more magic to allow modification and saving of this back to the original files. > However, when I look in the .conf files in > <install_dir>/mods.d/ they only have a single configuration entry per > file.
