No images loading, buttons not working

Hi there,

I downloaded and installed, but whenever I try to configure any buttons on my stream deck I’m just getting the question mark, and when I go in-game and press the buttons nothing’s happening.

Important to note, I did notice when I try and configure the images it says “C:\fakepath\C%3A%2…” instead of the directory my images are actually stored in.

FATAL errors from pluginlog.log:

please try 2.0.7 without your symbolic link

It should no longer crash when the binding file can’t be found.

however, I haven’t found why it won’t automatically read:

C:\Users\Solar\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings\Custom.3.0.binds if StartPreset.start in the same directory contains the word Custom.

I added more logging about which file name it tried and could not access.

ok, good I think the problem may have been that when you switched from SaitekX55.binds to custom3.0.binds that ED first updated StartPreset.start and only after that created the custom3.0.binds file ? so when the plugin tried to read it , it didn’t exist yet.
