Config files

For the Cli Application settings

UEVaultManager supports some settings in its config file <config folder>/config.ini:

This is an example of this file content and the settings you can change:

[UEVaultManager]
;Set to True to start the Application in Edit mode (since v1.4.4) with the GUI
start_in_edit_mode = False
;Set to True to disable the automatic update check
disable_update_check = False
; Set to True to disable the notice about an available update on exit
disable_update_notice = False
; Create a backup of the output file (when using the --output option) suffixed by a timestamp before creating a new file
create_output_backup = True
; Set to True to create a backup of the log files that store asset analysis. It is suffixed by a timestamp
create_log_backup = True
; Set to True to print more information during long operations
verbose_mode = False
; File name (and path) to log issues with assets when running the list or scrap commands
; use "~/" at the start of the filename to store it relatively to the user directory
ignored_assets_filename_log = ~/.config/ignored_assets.log

For the GUI settings

Since version 1.6.0, UEVaultManager also supports some settings specific to the new GUI, in a config file <config folder>/config_gui.ini:

This is an example of this file content and the settings you can change:

Note that some other settings for the new GUI are managed by a dedicated python file <python install folder>/<source folder of the package>/tkgui/modules/GuiSettingsClass.py

For instance, the location is:

• for Linux: ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/UEVaultManager/tkgui/modules/GuiSettingsClass.py

• for Windows: c:\python3.10\site-packages\UEVaultManager\tkgui\modules\GuiSettingsClass.py

The final path can depend on your installation.
