Importing profile picking up other XML file

[Clemo]

Hi,

I have released my profile to some of my colleagues and one of them who imported the XML file into their temp directory (loads of other stuff in there) when adding the profile had an error message appear that seems to relate an XML file for another application he uses.  It wasn't a fatal error as the adding the profile worked but just wondering how it might be picking up some other file.

BTW When he created a new directory and put the file in there, it worked without hitch.

(The following is more a stomach feeling than good knowledge.) When you tell EA to look for profiles it is in a directory. And EA seems to scan that directory for literally everything. That way it might encounter files it supposes to be profiles but lead to strange error messages.

It's always a good idea to place profiles in dedicated directories.

Thanks and agree, have now added it as a best practice.
