Ventoy does not accept settings from the \ventoy\ventoy.json file on the data section

Ventoy does not accept settings from the \ventoy\ventoy.json file on the data partition

All operations were carried out using the following utilities:

\ventoy-1.0.98\Ventoy2Disk.exe - for formatting and creating a boot disk
\ventoy-1.0.98\VentoyPlugson.exe - Link -> change settings in the browser -> Unlink

The settings in the \ventoy\ventoy.json file have changed, but there are no changes when loading from disk

Code:

{
    "control":[
        { "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
        { "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1" },
        { "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" },
        { "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/_ISO" }
    ],
    "control_legacy":[
        { "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" }
    ],
    "control_uefi":[
        { "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" }
    ],
    "control_ia32":[
        { "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" }
    ],
    "control_aa64":[
        { "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" }
    ],
    "control_mips":[
        { "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" }
    ]
}

When loading there are no changes, a list of files is displayed, you have to switch to the tree structure using the А3 hotkey

Code:

DISKPART> list disk

control settings are not global - they do not apply to other sections like control_legacy or control_uefi.
You must put
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/_ISO" }

in ALL sections


The control section is only used IF NO OTHER SECTION EXISTS
e.g. if there was no control_uefi section AT ALL, then settings in control would apply.
if there exists a control_uefi section, then ONLY settings in that section will be used and the settings in control will be ignored.

This settings file is created by VentoyPlugson.exe, does that mean there is an error in it?

No. You just need to put all the settings you want in each tab page

e.g.

{
"control":[
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/_ISO" }
],
"control_legacy":[
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/_ISO" }
],
"control_uefi":[
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/_ISO" }
],
"control_ia32":[
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/_ISO" }
],
"control_aa64":[
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/_ISO" }
],
"control_mips":[
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT": "1" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_LANGUAGE": "ru_RU" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/_ISO" }
],
}

This allows you to have different settings for each mode.
For instance, the search_root folder could be \_ISO_LEGACY for legacy ISOs and \_ISO_EFI64 for efi64 and \_ISO\IEF32 for EFI32 bootable ISOs.
