[epiar-devel] Further testing with 0.5.0++

[Matthew Zweig]

If this file says 0.4.2, then I don't think it's the same file that you're loading from.  I think that Epiar is loading out of the DATADIR (wherever that is).  On the other hand, these options match the settings that you're describing.

The option that you would want to set would be options/log/xml .  You can also turn this on from the command line via --log-xml I think.

The reason that you are skipping the menu is because
 <automatic-load>1</automatic-load>
is set.

I think that it might be worth adding a --reset-options command line flag.

You should still be able to reach the options by hitting '?'.

I did get the changes in code up to 6/26/11 but the menu options disappeared on startup and the game goes right into play mode at the last landing site (saved at that time).
