Imported MDG Technologies not listed in Settings
« on: April 10, 2013, 05:39:28 am »
In EA 9.3, when I import a new MDG technology using Tools->MDG Technology Import, the technology is imported correctly and the XML file is copied to the %AppData% directory.

However, when I open Settings->MDG Technologies, the technology is not listed.  That makes it difficult to know for sure whether or not my technology has been loaded by EA.

While developing a new MDG technology, I need to remove the currently installed tech and then reload it often.   It would be nice if all of the different methods for handling MDG technologies agreed with each other.

Thanks,
Frank

You might not have heard of Paolo's moaning: Consistency, consistency, consistency. It's an old song we sing in cold EA nights where we dream of a better product...

If it isn't listed, you know for sure that it hasn't been loaded. Restarting EA will do it, or you can go into the MDG Technologies dialog and force a rescan of all folders by adding or removing a path.
