What does Cameyo capture?
Permalink   
 


I have been assuming something, but thought I'd better make sure. No doubt it's been asked somewhere, but I didn't see it in my search.

The situation: I am installing a program on drive C. While that is happening, I rearrange some files on drive D. Does the Cameyo package include anything related to drive D (e.g., information about those files)?

In this case, drive C is the system drive in a virtual machine, and drive D is a folder the VM shares with the underlying OS. I was tinkering with D, both inside and outside the VM, while the installation was underway.

TIA.

If it is a share or network drive, Packager should ignore it, but if it is a physical drive (even if identified as such by the VM), Packager will include its activity.  You can always use Package Editor to check the package to see if the activity was captured (and delete anything unnecessary).  Additionally, you can edit Packager.xml to include whatever location you wish under <PathsToAvoid>.  The default location of Packager.xml is %AppData%\VOS\Cameyo\PROG\%Program Files%\Cameyo.

 Can this be added to the documentation?

I noticed that when running cameyo, any changes to Packager.xml are lost when cameyo is ran. This makes it impossible to add exclusions. You MUST open cameyo itself in package editor, delete the old Packager.xml inside the package and replace it with the modified one. Only then will it work properly.

We are not aware of Packager.xml being overwritten every time -- at least, we cannot reproduce such behavior.
