Dear community members,

I am developing a plugin for SDL Studio 2014 that adds two custom buttons to the ribbon.

To implement the functionalities provided by the buttons, I have to use three paths to folders stored in a network drive. Since these paths are subject to change, I do not want to hard-code them, but defined them as settings in my Visual Studio project (Properties > Settings). For their scope, I picked up "application" as they are not user-specific and are read-only at runtime.

When I build the project, the *.dll.config file is correctly created and contains the expected information.

However, when I deploy the sdlplugin together with the *.dll.config file, the latter seems to be ignored. With Studio closed, if I manually change the path of the network drive and change the path in the *.dll.config file to match, the updated path is ignored and my functionality does not work properly.

I tried to put the *.dll.config file first in the Plugins\Packages and then in the Plugins\Unpacked folder, but to no avail.

I would be grateful if anyone can suggest any fix or workaround for this.

Thank you!

Dino
