Author Topic: MC keeps repopulating skins I manually removed from the skins folder  (Read 1109 times)

Hi, all!

Mac user here.  (Sonoma 14.6, if you're wondering.)  I keep manually removing and trashing standard view skins that I don't want to use from the Skins folder but, once I close and reopen MC 32 (the latest version), they get automatically repopulated in the skins folder.  They're not just the skins that come with MC 32, but skins I installed using the .mjp extension. (Ones that I manually added as a folder into the Skins folder do not repopulate.)

Please advise...

Cheers,
Aldo

They're bundled with MC and are the default skins, so that's probably why they're repopulating every time you open MC32. Checking the list, all of them except ET Blue Card I are bundled with MC by default.

Aldo - it looks like something odd is going on because when you delete the unwanted skins that are bundled with MC they should only re-appear when you install a new version and not when you open/reopen a version that you have removed them from..

Maybe it's about time the MC Installer was made more User Friendly by allowing us to choose what Bundled Skins and Plugins we want to have it install.

Anything in the Custom Resources folder isn't affected by newer installs.

We're not going to do a more customized installer.

I don't have a folder named "Custom Resources".

Ah.  Thank you.
