I usually use TC3.3 but yesterday began to try TC3.7.1. Installed it to USB flash drive with persistent /home and /opt. Installed (OnBoot) my preferred WM JWM-Snapshot.
When used in previous TC installations this has resulted in hidden, editable configuration files being placed in /home/tc. Now these are links:
ls -1la | grep .jwm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 40 Jul 26 08:56 .jwmrc -> /tmp/tcloop/jwm-snapshot/etc/skel/.jwmrc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 45 Jul 26 08:56 .jwmrc-keys -> /tmp/tcloop/jwm-snapshot/etc/skel/.jwmrc-keys
-rw-rw-r-- 1 199 Jul 26 08:56 .jwmrc-ondemand
lrwxrwxrwx 1 46 Jul 26 08:56 .jwmrc-theme -> /tmp/tcloop/jwm-snapshot/etc/skel/.jwmrc-theme
lrwxrwxrwx 1 45 Jul 26 08:56 .jwmrc-tray -> /tmp/tcloop/jwm-snapshot/etc/skel/.jwmrc-tray
Has the reason for this change been announced somewhere? I may have missed it and cannot find it. How does one now configure JWM-Snapshot (and presumably JWM)?

Just replace links with real files and edit them.

Deleting the links in /home/tc, copying them from the non-writable location to /home/tc, then editing them does work after a reboot.
It is a convoluted way to obtain a set of configuration files.
As the WM works perfectly with normal editable files, the need for non-editable links escapes me. It would seem to be just as easy to produce them in editable form in the user home directory. In fact one of the files, .jwmrc-ondemand is editable by default while the remaining four are not.

Yeah, non-ideal behavior from the extension. It's not been updated in a while, but you could still try to contact the maintainer.
