Repeats created in key Remapping list

[fogy]

I just noticed my Key Remapping list has duplicated itself several times.

I've had several crashes of Pwnboxer a few sessions ago while playing. Hardly any any time else. In addition I've been a frequent saver/overwriter of my config.

Now I've got five batches of my key remappings:

A
B
C
A
B
C
A
B......

I haven't been manually inside the config, only saving, and therefore overwriting the file, and those crashes. It seems like the overwriting is appending.

Or.....?

If you delete the default Pwnboxer.pbcfg file and then restart Pwnboxer, it will recreate the default config file.

The thing about Pwnboxer is, because of how closely it is tied to the game its running in conjunction with (WoW for example), if WoW experiences any issues/lags, consequently it will cause Pwnboxer to lag.

Also I've noticed that if Skype crashes, or if Firefox crashes, it will crash some system-wide processes, a couple of which a program like Pwnboxer needs to run. So for me, if Skype crashes, it makes Pwnboxer crash too

Yeah, I've got 50 tabs open in Firefox sometimes, and it (Firefox) has it's share of instability that I live with. I'm not so much worried about Pwnboxer crashing, but I am curious about discovering how the config file is being filled with complete repeats, and any way I can avoid that. It can't be beneficial in any way, and until I find out what causes it, it may be malignant and keep happening.

Looking at the file the only thing being duplicated at first glance is the key mappings, not the entire contents of the file.

Do you write those out at close?

Understood. I'll be manually culling the file first, then I'll see if I have to rebuild and copy in my remaps.

The "ooh, cool, I'll get back to this!" tab.

I use several profiles; for school, work, WoW, etc. Each one I just leave tabs up for my latest musings. My WoW profile just sometimes gets uber bloated as I have several projects I'm following, and several tabs I'm hesitant to close. Videos I want to watch but don't have time for, open tanking threads, Wowhead frequently accessed pages, etc.

There are just a lot of things I like to reference that aren't quite bookmark worthy and since the tabs remain after restarting firefox they sometimes grow like weeds. It'll go down to the normal 20 or so soon.

100% agree there.

However, FF crashes on me ALL THE EFFING TIME so 50 tabs is a dream these days.

I left Firefox for Google Chrome a while ago and have never looked back.

Having Chrome means never having adblocking.......
