Hi
How to edit the profile manager list?? I use? several profiles, one for the rolling stock and one for the test stock. Other profiles for editing, programming, operating. These profiles are linked to one of the stock profiles. How I can delete the stock profiles in the profile manager list?

If you have linked your User Files Location/Roster Location to any of the stock profiles, you will lose data by deleting that stock profile. You'll need to move your user data to locations outside the stock profile and then repoint the remaining locations. The following links may help:
<>
<> (similar principles)

Alternatively, if you are computer competent, you can hide a profile by:

- Find the location of the unwanted profile and open it. Best done by starting the unwanted profile and doing Help->Locations-Open Profile Location.
- Quit JMRI but leave that folder open
- Make sure you aren't starting up with that profile by opening with a wanted profile and then quitting.
- Renaming (safer than deleting) two "profile.properties" files in the already-open unwanted profile's folder; one is just inside a "profile" folder (don't dig deeper, there are others), the other at the top level of the folder.
- Start JMRI again and the unwanted profile should disappear, with a report in the JMRI system console.

But don't attempt this unless you are very computer competent and entirely comfortable doing it!!!

Hi Dave

I can locate only one of the "profile.properties" files you mentioned:
JMRI-Test.jmri ? ? ? ? ?? --> My test stock profile
????????????????????????????????? --> No "profile.properties" on top level
JMRI-Test.jmri\profile --> "profile.properties" is here

Renaming the "JMRI-Test.jmri\profile\profile.properties" works. No entry for "JMRI-Test" in the profile manager.
Is everything okay so, even without the "profile.properties" on top level?

Thanks
Kurt

If it works, fine.

The test profiles I created were by copying an existing profile (my usual way of doing so) and it's possible the "profile.properties" on top the level is deprecated and no longer used.

If you need to make that profile visible again, just undo the rename and use Add Existing in the Preferences->Config Profiles manager to attach to it again.
