What profile is loaded?

[dgriffith]

I'm new to this software and Multiboxing. I have more than one profile. When I load PwnBoxer I can't find anything to tell what profile is loaded.

Thanks,

By profile do you mean window layout? or key setups etc?

I think he means configuration.

Pwnboxer auto opens the last config it had when it was closed.

Where it shows Pwnboxer window layouts, just create one and give it a name. Also, you can SAVE/LOAD configurations for multiple teams/etc.

This doesn't happen for me. I'll have to check my Pwnboxer version when I get home, but every time I launch Pwnboxer, it loads the default config and not the one I have saved under a different filename.

Ditto

Yes, I meant configuration.

I always end up starting PwnBoxer and then do a load configuration so I know which one is loaded.

It would be a nice touch to have the loaded configuration name in the title bar.

I just tested and it does this as it should.

For example:

Load up Pwnboxer
Create a new window layout, call it TEST TEST
Save that config as testtest
Then close Pwnboxer
Restart Pwnboxer

It will start up with that TEST TEST layout that it had when you closed it. If you then load up one of your older Pwnboxer configs, then close Pwnboxer, then restart, it won't have the TEST TEST anymore it will have your old Pwnboxer config that you last loaded.

So basically Pwnboxer just has loaded the settings of whatever it was last running as.

Ok, tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch Pwnboxer (version 02.02.021501 - shortcut is pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\PwnBoxer\PwnBoxer.exe").
2. Dismiss Message Of The Day popup.
3. From the File menu, choose Load Configuration...
4. Choose your Pwnboxer config file (in my case, 1680x1050.pbcfg, which just happens to be in the same folder as my Default.pbcfg, which is under "C:\Users\<username>" ).
5. Click the Open button.
6. From the File menu, choose Exit.
7. Launch Pwnboxer (version 02.02.021501).
8. Dismiss Message Of The Day popup.

Result
The Pwnboxer config file (in my case, 1680x1050.pbcfg) is not loaded.

My guess is it's loading some default config file because it's not loading the Default.pbcfg either. Regardless, it's not remembering the last *.pbcfg file that I had open.

Adding a Step #6.5 to save the current config back over itself doesn't have any impact on Pwnboxer's inability to remember which *.pbcfg file it had open last.

Ok, so the issue is that I had Pwnboxer installed/living in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pwnboxer". Moving it to "C:\Users\<username>\Pwnboxer" solved my issue.

Before, Pwnboxer.exe was unable to even create the default, Pwnboxer.pbcfg file, which should have given some clue what the problem was.

So for anyone else having this issue, if you can't save your config to the same folder that Pwnboxer.exe is in, then you need to move your Pwnboxer folder.
