anyone knows why?

all the files in the monopolyclassic folder are symlinks to a folder in mydocs, except for the executable one (all the games are working this way).


Thanks.
Hi there,
I was struggling with the very same problem for the past couple of nights, and just resolved it. The problem was the the save folder and it's contents are not writeable, and when you change an option, the app needs to make a change to some of the files and can't. So the solution is:

chmod -R 777 monopolyclassic/save

This will recursively give write access to everyone (i.e. user), and all works well. I've updated the Wiki (http://wiki.maemo.org/Preenv/FAQ#How...ith_an_icon.3F).

Now I'm trying to move it to MyDocs to save some space, problem is you can't change ownership in MyDocs (I think because it is NTFS fs). But I moved NFSUC in to MyDocs and game saves are working fine, so I'm hoping Monopoly will be fine too.

Cheers,

travla

EDIT: I just created symlinks to all directories under monopolyclassic, and it is working a treat - no crash on changing settings and game saves working. This saved 45mb of space, had to leave all files under monopolyclassic in /home/user/. I may have been able to create symlinks to each one of those (I saw someone had written a simple loop for this) but couldn't be bothered, only 15 mb...
