config change not applied

[v7kF4U2HTd]

i noticed that config changes don't seem to be applied properly. for example when the gui shows up i hit O, go to the config submenu, select a different config and go one level back. the command args have changed but a lot of other things have not.
if for example the default config had acpi patches but the newly selected has none, the old ones still show up and vice versa. or the fakecpuid for example doesn't change either.
it's a cluttered mix of settings from both configs.

 

needless to say that this is very cumbersome if you have multiple configs for different osx versions. that's even worse since clover doesn't support per partition configs like chameleon does. or does it?

 

i tried a number of different 4xxx versions and all of them had that flaw.

does that work for everybody else?

hitting enter twice on the config file of choice seems to work although certain things are still not visible in clover's boot menu.

tested on r5103,

 

issue

 

Clover did not clear all the last config.plist settings, before loading another new config.plist

 

settings

 

I have two config.plist in the /EFI/CLOVER/ directory

(a) config.plist

(b) config_r5103_default.plist (clover installer stock config.plist)
 

config.plist content

<key>FakeID</key> <dict> <key>IntelGFX</key> <string>0x01668086</string> </dict>

<key>ig-platform-id</key> <string>0x01620005</string>

 

theme : embedded

 

config_r5103_default.plist content

// did not set <key>FakeID</key>

// did not set <key>ig-platform-id</key>

 

theme : Clovy

 

findings

 

(a) during start up the config.plist will be loaded

IntelGFX 0x01668086

ig-platform-id 0x01620005

 

(b) after loading the config_r5103_default.plist in the Clover boot menu

the old settings is still there in the Clover Graphics menu, suppose clover will clear all the last settings first, and load the config_r5103_default.plist settings

IntelGFX 0x01668086

ig-platform-id 0x01620005

 

expected settings

IntelGFX 0x00000000

ig-platform-id 0x00000000

 

(c) sometimes, the theme do not change according to the theme set in the config.plist, especially after loading different config.plist multiple times in the Clover boot menu
