Now the app will show you a list of options by tabs along the top.
Here I have selected the SOAN tab
Turn a feature on by double clicking the false to change it to true

When you are finished - close the app and it will save your setting (next time you use it the paths will be preset.

I was able to change all the hotkeys listed with no problems. How are you trying to change them? You have to double click the 'Hotkey' entry to have the window show up for configuring the hotkey. After you make your changes you press Accept. Now to have your changes saved you need to File-->Save.

Update: Got it now.
If you open up a hotkey window enough times, and it has options of handled, Shift required, Ctrl required, or Alt required, you must double click the word hotkey for the window below to show up.
If you open up a hotkey window (example SOAN or item notes) and only has the option of true or false, then you doubleclick the true or false option.

Best :up:
as always :yep:
This manual will be very helpful to the new subsimmers :yeah:

When closing out it asks for this, does it matter what I put I put in here?

Yeah, I figured that it would do this automatically ( like when doing it the old way ) when I exited, when it did not it threw me for a bit of a loop. So I eventually did what you mentioned and everything was fine.

Your tutorial was spot on :up: I then installed the UI Mod, then the patch after this, worked fine.

Thanks man, coming through again!

The only error I received when using the editor was trying to change
the Journal Name from the default TheDarkWraith. It would not accept the changes in this option.

I am wondering for that one if doing it the old way will do the trick....

Very usefull thread Trevally:yeah: Must be sticky as well as How to use TDWPatchers and others 'How to...'
