#21 setting datadir option in configfile

[Han Boetes]

ubh still tries to save things to the nonexisting
folder data even when the option is set in the
optionsfile:

DATADIR = /home/han/nfs/movies

The dirty fix was changing line 138 to

$datadir = "/home/han/nfs/movies";

OpenBSD current on i386; latest ubh

I don't have this problem with v2.5 or CVS v2.6b1.
Remember, it defaults to loading ubhrc in your home
directory, not your current directory. My guess is that
it's loading a different ubhrc file in a different
directory. What command line are you using?

It also happens on mandrake. I will check out cvs soon and see if
that also has the same error.

No I am not a newbie. :P

The other settings do get applied.

ubh -G alt.binaries.movies -I "some pattern"

For kicks, try something like this:

ubh -G alt.binaries.movies -I "some pattern" -
c /location/ubhrc

It works fine for me. I was using version 1.5 or 1.6
before and it defaulted to the current directory, now it
defaults to the user's home directory so in this case,
being a newbie may actually help :)
