Can't Locate Satisfactory Ini

Posted on
  1. Click Start (lower left corner)
  2. In the list of programs, find Picasa 3 folderand click it
  3. Right-click Picasa3 and select Uninstall
  4. In the confirmation window that opens, click Uninstall
  5. Important: click Yes to remove the database
  • Once you've successfully uninstalled, you can download and reinstall Picasa. See How to get the final Picasa version
  • Start Picasa and set it up to scan My Pictures and My Documents folders (or the folders where you have pictures and videos).
  • Wait until Picasa completes scanning all folders and rescans the faces.

The SKSE install does not create a crashfixplugin.ini or SKSE.ini To have a crashfixplugin.ini and to make use of its settings, install Crash Fixes. Find Saplogon.ini File Location. July 16, 2014 v ABAP General 2. The entries that you maintain in SAP logon pad will get stored in saplogon.ini file. Suppose you have 10 entries in the SAP logon pad of system 1 and you want to maintain the same entries in system 2, then you don’t have to maintain the entries manually in system 2.

NOTE: Any time after Picasa starts scanning My Pictures and My Documents you can go to the Tools menu > Folder Manager and tell Picasa which folders to 'Scan Always' and which to 'Remove from Picasa' if you have custom picture folders.

The alternate, safer way (Method B)

Advantages:
  • Method B is safer because you can go back to your previous database if you don't like the results.
  • It is not necessary to reinstall Picasa or tell it which folders to watch (in Folder Manager) if the folders were already defined.
  • Most face names will be restored due to keeping the Contacts.xml database file.
Disadvantages:
  • Requires familiarity with Windows operations and knowledge of 'File Explorer' including ability to select, copy, paste, and delete files.
  • See 'Limitations for Rebuilding' above
Database Rebuild Procedure:
1) Close Picasa
2) Navigate to the Google application data folder on your computer by any of the three methods that follow:
  1. On a keyboard, press the Windows key (sometimes labeled 'Start') plus the R key to open the Run window
  2. Click the 'Start' button (lower left corner of your desktop)
  3. Open File Explorer
Paste the appropriate path below (in red) into the Run window, into Start, or into File Explorer:
  • Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10 (C:UsersUserAppDataLocalGoogle): %LocalAppData%Google
  • Windows XP: %userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataGoogle
3) In the Google folder, you'll see two folders that have 'Picasa' in the folder name: 'Picasa2' and 'Picasa2Albums.
(Note that these folders have Picasa2 in their folder name even though the program is Picasa3) You will now copy those two folders, so that you have a backup. Here's how to copy the two folders:
  • Right-click on the Picasa2 folder and select Copy (or Ctrl+C), then right-click again into an empty space in the Google folder and select Paste (or Ctrl+P).
    Pasting could take a long time (for example, 30 minutes or more) if you have a large collection of pictures. The copied folder will be named 'Picasa2 - Copy'
  • Repeat the copy and paste process with the Picasa2Albums folder. The copied folder will be named 'Picasa2Albums - Copy'
    These two '- Copy' folders are your backup copy of the Picasa database.
4) In this step, you will be deleting some of Picasa's database files.
In the Google folder, double-click on the 'Picasa2' folder to open it, then double-click the 'db3' folder to view the database files. Read carefully: You will now delete allthe database files in the db3 folder exceptthese three files:
  • scanlist.txt
  • thumbindex.db
  • thumbs_index.db
5) Start Picasa and wait. Picasa will begin scanning your computer for photos and video files. The rebuild process can take quite a while and depends a lot on the situation; plan on about an hour per 10,000 pictures for scanning pictures AND for doing face recognition.
Picasa will rescan faces, but will see that you tagged them already and assign the correct name automatically.
1. You may see a couple of CBlock errors when Picasa starts; if so, just answer OK to each error.
2. If Picasa fails to start, follow 'Picasa Fails to Start Using Alternate Method B'directions below.
6) Evaluate the results long enough to be sure you are happy with the newly rebuilt database.
  • If the rebuilt database is not satisfactory, and you want to roll back to what you had before the rebuild, follow 'Roll Back to Previous Database' directions below.
  • If the rebuilt database is satisfactory, you can delete the copy of the previous database, see 'Remove Previous Database' directions below.
End of Procedure

Roll Back to Previous Database after trying Alternate Method B
If you don't like the results after the rebuild, you can roll back to your old database by following these steps:
2) Navigate to the Google folder as in Step 2 of Method B above and paste the appropriate path (in red) below:
  • Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10 (C:UsersUserAppDataLocalGoogle): %LocalAppData%Google
  • Windows XP: %userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataGoogle

3) There are four folders: Picasa2, Picasa2Albums, Picasa2 - Copy, and Picasa2Albums - Copy
The two '- Copy' folders are the backup of the 'Old' database that was saved before the rebuild.
The Picasa2 and Picasa2Albums folders are the 'New' database that was generated by the rebuild procedure.

  • If the two '- Copy' folders are not in the Google folder, it will not be possible to roll back to the old database.
  • If you want to keep a copy of the 'New' database in case you want to try it again, rename the Picasa2 folder to Picasa2_new, and the Picasa2Albums folder to Picasa2Albums_new
  • If you are sure you don't want to keep the 'New' database you just generated, delete the 2 folders Picasa2, and Picasa2Albums
  • Right-click on the 'Picasa2 - Copy' folder and rename it to 'Picasa2'
  • Right-click on the 'Picasa2Albums - Copy' folder and rename it to 'Picasa2Albums'
4) Start Picasa. It should start up immediately in the condition it was before the rebuild. There may be minor scanning if photos were added to your computer or changed since the rebuild.
End of Procedure

Remove Previous Database after using the Alternate Method B
If you like the results after the rebuild, you can remove the unneeded 'old' database by following these steps:
1) Navigate to the Google folder as in Step 2 of Method B above and paste the appropriate path (in red) below:
  • Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10 (C:UsersUserAppDataLocalGoogle): %LocalAppData%Google
  • Windows XP: %userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataGoogle
2) There are four folders with 'Picasa' in the folder name: Picasa2 , Picasa2Albums, Picasa2 - Copy, and Picasa2Albums - Copy
Can
  • Delete the two folders 'Picasa2 - Copy' and 'Picasa2Albums - Copy'
  • If the two '- Copy' folders are not there, the previous database was already removed.

End of Procedure


Picasa Fails to Start Using Alternate Method B
In 'Alternate Method B' Step 5, Picasa could fail to start if there is a critical error in a remaining database file or if there are errors in the watched folders list.
If Picasa fails to start or finds no photos, do the following:
1) Close Picasa
2) Navigate to the Google application data folder on your computer by any of the three methods that follow:
  1. On a keyboard, press the Windows key (sometimes labeled 'Start') plus the R key to open the Run window
  2. Click the 'Start' button (lower left corner of your desktop)
  3. Open File Explorer
Paste the appropriate path below (in red) into the Run window, into Start, or into File Explorer:
  • Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10 (C:UsersUserAppDataLocalGoogle): %LocalAppData%Google
  • Windows XP: %userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataGoogle

3) In the Google folder, you had previously copied the folders named: 'Picasa2' and 'Picasa2Albums, so you should already have the two '- Copy' folders. If you don't have the two '- Copy' folders, then make a copy as described above.

4) In the Google folder, double-click the 'Picasa2' folder to open it, select the 'db3' folder and delete it.
5) Start Picasa. You will see a welcome page asking you if you want to scan everything or only My Pictures. Select only My Pictures for now (you can change this later). You will see another page asking you about Photo Viewer. Select 'Don't Use Picasa Photo Viewer (you can enable it later if you want it).
6) Picasa will start scanning your computer for photos and videos. The process may take an hour or more; about 2 hours per 10,000 pictures to rescan face tags.
7) To change which folders on your computer that Picasa should scan, go to Tools > Folder Manager. Set those you want to see displayed in Picasa to 'Scan Always' then click 'OK' so that any new folders will be scanned in the future. For folders you do not want scanned (not displayed in Picasa), choose the option 'Remove from Picasa' then click OK. 'Remove from Picasa' will not delete the photos from your computer.
End of Procedure

If Picasa continuously rescans your pictures

A file with the INI file extension is a Windows Initialization file. These files are plain text files that contain settings that dictate how something else, oftentimes a program, should operate.

Various programs have their own INI files but they all serve the same purpose. CCleaner is one example of a program that can use an INI file to store the different options that the program should have enabled or disabled. This particular INI file is stored as the name ccleaner.ini under the CCleaner installation folder, usually at C:Program FilesCCleaner.

Satisfactory Wiki

A common INI file in Windows called desktop.ini is a ​hidden file that stores information on how folders and files should appear.

How to Open & Edit INI Files

It's not a common practice for regular users to open or edit INI files, but they can be opened and changed with any text editor. Just double-clicking on an INI file will automatically open it in the Notepad application in Windows.

See our Best Free Text Editors list for some alternative text editors that can open INI files.

How an INI File Is Structured

INI files can contain keys (also called properties) and some have optional sections in order to group keys together. A key should have a name and a value, separated by an equals sign, like this:

It's important to understand that not all INI files work in the same way because they're built specifically for use within a particular program. Some INI files are really tiny (a few kilobytes) with only one or two lines of information, and others can be extremely lengthy (several megabytes) with lots of customizable options.

In this example, CCleaner defines the English language with the 1033 value. So, when CCleaner opens, it reads the INI file to determine in which language to display the program text. Although it uses 1033 to indicate English, the program natively supports other languages, too, which means you can change it to 1034 to use Spanish instead.

The same can be said for all the other languages the software supports, but you have to look through its documentation to understand which numbers mean other languages.

If this key existed under a section, it may look like this:

This particular example is in the INI file that CCleaner uses. You can change this INI file yourself to add more options to the program because it refers to this INI file to determine what should be erased from the computer. This particular program is popular enough that there's a tool you can download called CCEnhancer that keeps the INI file updated with lots of different options that don't come built-in by default.

More Information on INI Files

Some INI files may have a semicolon within the text. These just indicate a comment to describe something to the user if they're looking through the INI file. Nothing following the comment is interpreted by the program that's using it.

Key names and sections are notcase sensitive, at least in Windows. This means that the same effect is produced in an INI file that uses uppercase letters as one that has lowercase letters.

A common file called boot.ini is used in Windows XP to detail the specific location of the Windows XP installation. If problems occur with this file, see How to Repair or Replace Boot.ini in Windows XP.

A common question relating to INI files is whether or not you can delete desktop.ini files. While it's perfectly safe to do so, Windows will just recreate the file and apply default values to it. So, if you've applied a custom icon to a folder, for example, and then delete the desktop.ini file, the folder will just revert back to its default icon.

INI files were used a lot in early versions of Windows before Microsoft began encouraging the shift over to using the Windows Registry to store application settings. Now, even though many programs still use the INI format, XML is being used for the same purpose.

If you're getting 'access denied' messages when trying to edit an INI file, it means you don't have the proper administrative privileges to make changes to it. You can usually fix this by opening the INI editor with admin rights (right-click it and choose to run it as administrator). Another option is to copy the file to your desktop, make changes there, and then paste that desktop file over the original.

Some other initialization files you may come across that don't use the INI file extension are CFG and CONF files. Some programs even stick with TXT.

How to Convert an INI File

There's no real reason to convert an INI file to another file format. The program or operating system that's using the file will only recognize it under the specific name and file extension that it's using.

However, since INI files are just regular text files, you can use a program like Notepad++ to save it to another text-based format like HTM/HTML or TXT.
