Missing pages?

• profiles.xml - Stores your Master lock codes and profiles information. This page needs creating ?

profiles.xml is referenced by Settings/System#Master lock and Media_sources#Locking apparently contains masterlocks codes and profiles information. However no information can be directly found about this profiles.xml and what it contains... It is also not in the userdata contents listing, I added it to listing but still no page exists. The question is, do we need to create this page or for whatever reason we dont create this page?--uNiversal 14:22, 25 November 2012 (EST)

We do have a page for profiles, but it would be nice to have a technical explanation of the actual profiles xml file and the tags and such. It would probably be more for developer reference, since end-users really aren't encouraged to manually mess with most of those xml files (outside of some specific ones, like advancedsettings.xml). -- Ned Scott

Yes I read the profiles page it doesn't mention profiles.xml which is where the info is stored? The main point of having a profiles.xml page would be to actually inform users what to do when this file is corrupt or if the lockcodes aren't working or whatever. there are and have been forums postings about this lack of information technical or otherwise (currently am engaged in forums about lockcodes problems took me 10 minutes of googling to get something useful and actually identify that profiles.xml was what we should look at). I dont use profiles and am not familiar with what goes in there or how to fix it. I can create page and add some info, but ultimately its going to be incomplete. Need someone who knows about this to provide info on this mystical--uNiversal 02:49, 26 November 2012 (EST) file.

Thers more folders and files inside userdata that are no documented for frodo. the profiles is a actual folder Which I presume contains all the profiles inside. profiles.xml is the masterprofile? It resides outside the profiles folder. Then there's the addons_data, peripheral_data and its a wild guess what goes in there.,. The list is complete but the information required to address these is a little beyond me as my usage scenarios only allow me to guess. I would like to put relevant information, rather than scattered incomplete.--uNiversal 18:34, 26 November 2012 (EST)
