I'm trying to implement this functionnality for my guildies but it seems it doesn't work as intended.

Uniupload works fine but WOW no
The data is written to the savedvariables.lua correctly, when you launch wow wow still use the old data for the addon, then when you quit wow the new data is written in the file.

So to resume, for the functionnality to works you have to click the button in UU then launch WOW then quit WOW then launch WOW again and the Data is correct.

As a workarround i'd like to use the download feature on a other file than the savedvariables.lua (directly the good addon file) it works if i put the good lua name in the option (and if the file allready exist so no possibility to install an addon with a default config ) but the data is allways added to the file, so the file is bigger and bigger.

So the request is ability to create the addon lua if it doesn't exist and an option to purge the content of the file before downloads.

A reasonable request.

I was under the impression that the WOW API simply reads the data structs from the last instance of the written data

foo=bar1
foo=bar2
foo=bar3



foo will be bar3 when wow loads

Yes this works if you download the data to another file than savedvariables.lua.

the problem is that is the data is big then the file will be quite big at a moment .

For the savedvariables.lua the data is read then deleted from the file by wow, but the data contained in this file is only written when wow quits and is not used before So not usable at this time.

I used to tell my guildies to "wait about 20 seconds" before logging in a character. This would give uu time to update the LUA file.

For the test i do, i manual push the button in UU then check that the file is ok. then launch wow.

This is really a wow bug Your tool work fine

i can just hope that you'll quickly throw a 2.6.5 with the delete before add option

This Error is comming, when I download, while I have "PURGEFIRST" checked. (by the way, in UU it show only "********" instead of "Purge First". It the same with the addon part.)
