The default settings.ini or eksettings.ini looks like

[General]
shortcut=F2
shortcut_modifier=NONE
number_of_keyboards=5
selected_keyboard=1
keyboard_name1=Tamil99
keyboard_name2=Phonetic
keyboard_name3=Typewriter
keyboard_name4=Bamini
keyboard_name5=Inscript
keyboard_file1=keyboards/Tamil-tamil99.txt.in
keyboard_file2=keyboards/Tamil-phonetic.txt.in
keyboard_file3=keyboards/Tamil-remington.txt.in
keyboard_file4=keyboards/Tamil-bamini.txt.in
keyboard_file5=keyboards/Tamil-inscript.txt.in
keyboard_icon1=keyboards/tamil99.png
keyboard_icon2=keyboards/phonetic.png
keyboard_icon3=keyboards/typewriter.png
keyboard_icon4=keyboards/bamini.png
keyboard_icon5=keyboards/inscript.png

I wanted to add my hacked scim-keyboard layout to ekalappai, so i edited the settings.ini and eksettings.ini with the following

[General]
shortcut=F2
shortcut_modifier=NONE
number_of_keyboards=6
selected_keyboard=1
keyboard_name1=Tamil99
keyboard_name2=Phonetic
keyboard_name3=Typewriter
keyboard_name4=Bamini
keyboard_name5=Inscript
keyboard_name6=Inscript1
keyboard_file1=keyboards/Tamil-tamil99.txt.in
keyboard_file2=keyboards/Tamil-phonetic.txt.in
keyboard_file3=keyboards/Tamil-remington.txt.in
keyboard_file4=keyboards/Tamil-bamini.txt.in
keyboard_file5=keyboards/Tamil-inscript.txt.in
keyboard_file6=keyboards/Tamil-inscript.txt.in
keyboard_icon1=keyboards/tamil99.png
keyboard_icon2=keyboards/phonetic.png
keyboard_icon3=keyboards/typewriter.png
keyboard_icon4=keyboards/bamini.png
keyboard_icon5=keyboards/inscript.png
keyboard_icon6=keyboards/inscript.png

But ekalappai failed to recognize the inscript1 keyboard layout. I am either doing something incredibly stupid here or ekalappai doesn't recognize the settings.ini files (keyboard layouts are hardcoded in the souce code)

I did the above because I wanted to use one of the fonts provided by indo-word (ex: LT-TM-Kanimozhi) i am guessing this is is a legacy font.

Hi,
Thanks for trying out ekalappai.

Keyboard layouts are not hardcoded anywhere in the source code as you can check from the source files in github.

In some windows versions, these files are accessed from local settings directory instead of program files directory.

Let me know which windows OS you are using. Also let me know what version of ekalappai are you using ?
