Gonna have to bear w/ me on this one...

To start, here's an ONSKINSTART that's in my MMIv2.0 skin:

skin's ExecTBL.ini

Code:

"ONSKINSTART","STARTUPFILEBR||STARTUPIGCONFIG||WRITEUTILICON||SAVEDRIVECONFIG3||SETTHEME||WRITEWEB||LOADLATESTFLDATA||LOADLATESTMLDATA"

.

I'm not not gonna bore you w/ the code for each command as they are quite lengthy. The summary of each command is a series of SAVETOSKIN, WRITETOFILE, ADDTOFILE commands to various *.skin and *.txt files that is used in my skin using the INC command line with tons of variables defined in skin.ini

So here is the oddity that I am experiencing.

Let's say you initally start RR with MMIv2.0 as the starting skin. It'll follow the ONSKINSTART command as it should writing to each file w/ details to complete various skin files when loaded.

If you use skin browser to switch skins, say BMV2, even though ONSKINSTART is defined only in the MMI skin's ExecTBL.ini, it'll run MMIv2.0's ONSKINSTART command and write the files in the BMV2 skin folder.

I don't now if that was intended or not, but should this be happening? I mean, shouldn't those ExecTBL commands stay only w/in the skin? I'd hate to think that I'm cluttering up another skin folder w/ my startup files.

definitely shouldnt and doesnt happen with my skin . As long as that exectbl.ini is in a skin folder its ignored by rr unless that skin is loaded. Are you sure that you dont have it in the rr exectbl.ini and dotn realize it .

LOL! I'm absolutely sure it's not the $rrpath$ ExecTBL.ini.

And my skin's ONSKINSTART defined in my skin's ExecTBL.ini is definitely writing my startup files to other folders once I move away from MMIv2.0 to other skins using skin browser.

maybe you need to show us the code for at least one of the commands that doing it.
