IB_IMG_DIR Variable

[MotionDesignStudio]

I tried changing the directory for the iso within the isodetect.cfg file

Directory containing ISO images

IB_IMG_DIR="/boot/iso"

And

Directory containing ISO images

IB_IMG_DIR=/boot/iso

I even tried within Grub2 and I did both Grub2 and within the isodetect.cfg file at the dame time.

menuentry "Scan all devices for bootable images" {
set IB_AUTOSCAN=true
set IB_IMG_DIR=/boot/iso
export IB_AUTOSCAN
export IB_IMG_DIR
configfile /mnt/boot/grub/isodetect.cfg
}

Nothing worked, It defaulted searching to the img folder located on the root of the usb stick.

Do you have a /boot/grub/grubenv file that overrides these values? The first time this script is run, it will create such a file, and load the variables from it subsequently. The idea was so you could configure it via that file, instead of editing the main code.

Perhaps this behaviour is not the most intuitive, and I overlooked documenting it. I'll be happy to accept a patch, or suggestions on how to make it better.

It is a great easy solution that is not that intimidating. I would like to modify the README.rst file. And update it. I have no idea how to do this. I can add this documentation and the structure of the location of the file need a little documentation.

I.E.
IB_IMG_DIR=boot/iso

The location on the usb starts without a "/" and ends without a "/" I notice you add the trailing "/" in the code here.

for _iso_scandir__iso in "$1$IB_IMG_DIR"/*.iso; do

I also have a list of bootable iso images. Below are my menuentrys using Grub2 and titles from Grub4dos.

It tried to boot the following unsuccessfully.

Load SG2D....kav_rescue_10.iso it start off on a black screen.

"Press any key to enter the menu.." pressing any keys does nothing and the after 10 seconds it returns to the Grub menu.

I love what you have created. I would love to help you maximize how many O.S. we can load.

Hey, thanks for the interest! This link might be of help in learning how to use git and github: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo

¿Tiene un archivo /boot/grub/grubenv que sobrescriba estos valores? La primera vez que se ejecute este script, creará dicho archivo y cargará las variables desde él posteriormente. La idea era poder configurarlo mediante ese archivo, en lugar de editar el código principal.

Quizás este comportamiento no sea el más intuitivo y olvidé documentarlo. Con gusto aceptaré una corrección o sugerencias para mejorarlo.
