Yeah, /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir and contained files
check which user you copied them with

ssh into n900 and check perms and owners with ls -al

Directories checked for images are in this order:
1) /home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/
2) /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir
3) /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/

Would be great if I could just load all of them at once.

uhm... i never tested with these many beecons ... but quicker way to be safe is to regularly backup your configuration file ~/.queen_beecon so if your kind of reset condition happens you just restore the file and issue a killall hildon-home to go back.
I still havent studied a way to automatically istantiate multiple QBW from for example a script
If I have some spare time in this holidays I'll give it a shot

I have this problem too... I have 17 widgets...
I do backup to this file ( /home/user/.queen_beecon) and if I restoring this file, all my QBW is gone... And after this action I can't add any QBW... I need reset this file to default, like you wrote in wiki:

Code:

sudo gainroot (only if you are not already root)
rm /home/user/.queen_beecon
killall hildon-home

After this I need do action like you wrote here for restoring of all my widgets: Import Procedure

Would be great if we could just load all of them at once.

Thanks

When you need to restore the file? After a reflash?

I never tried this but I think that if you
1) save .queen_beecon
2) reflash
3) install QBW package
4) restore .queen_beecon
5) keep adding widgets with "gear icon" "desktop menu" "Add widget" "Queen BeeCon Widget"

They will be restored ok.

Warning! There is a known glitch in this procedure ...
Suppose you create beecon 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (This are IDs given directly by HildonHome)
Then you delete beecon 4 5 6
Then you backup, reflash, restore .queen_beecon
When you add QBW widgets again as per previous procedure in step 5), instances 1 2 3 should restore ok ... then HH generates instance IDs for 4 5 6 which are not any more in conf file, so they get reset and recreated from scratch (with default appearance), then you go on with 7 8 9 10 which should restore ok.
Just delete 4 5 6 by hand

As I said I was not able to find (but I confess I didn't look very deeply into it) a way to interact with Hildon-Home/Desktop (gconf, dbus ...) in order to automatically:
1) add new QBWs (and this could also be useful to create .deb packages already crafted with preconfigured beecons)
2) restore,sanitize,normalize the instance ids sequence both in conf file and in HH system files.
