different users, same library

[mville]

My PC has 2 different users, both have admininistrator privileges.

Each user was running Asset 3 (local account), with different libraries. This was working fine.

I have just installed Asset 4 and now one user is showing the same status as the other even though the library data is stored in different locations e.g.:

C:\Users\user1\AppData\Roaming\dBpoweramp\uMediaLi brary

and

C:\Users\user2\AppData\Roaming\dBpoweramp\uMediaLi brary

The problem seems to be related to the use of the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Illustrate \dBpoweramp\DefaultUserPath

which is machine specific and not user specific.

Please advise.

Re: different users, same library

This is correct, we updated Asset to allow better finding of settings using HKLM, previously it was possible to have the configuration page and actual asset using different settings which was not good.

So why not store the necessary registry keys under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Illustrate \dBpoweramp\DefaultUserPath

instead of

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Illustrate \dBpoweramp\DefaultUserPath

just as the library files are stored in different user profile locations?

This way I can use different Asset configurations depending on which user logs into my machine.

As when using the service account HKCU is not the same as the configuration page

OK, but you could implement the following:

If "Asset Running Mode" = "Local Account (recommended)" Then

read HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Illustrate \dBpoweramp\DefaultUserPath key value

Else

If "Asset Running Mode" = "Service" Then

read HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Illustrate \dBpoweramp\DefaultUserPath key value

Else

'do nothing

EndIf

Endif

not that I want to tell you how to do your job or anything

Re: different users, same library

The next set of work to be implemented on asset is multiple user libraries within a single Asset...this will be Asset v5
