Some cases where Seer may fail to read and write configuration files correctly, resulting in settings not taking effect. In such cases, manually changing the configuration file location can resolve the issue.
- Exit Seer.
- Open the Documents folder.
- Paste
%USERPROFILE%/Documentsinto the address bar of the file manager to directly access this folder. - Create a new folder named Seer, then inside this folder, create a new empty text file.
- For the Desktop version, rename the file to config.ini.
- For the Store version, rename the file to uwp.ini.
- Reopen the program. Seer will now read and write configuration to this file.
Similarly, you can also create a user.ini file in the %USERPROFILE%/Documents/Seer folder to change the path of the custom configuration.
