Hi Aurélien,
if you set a string parameter with a string containing a double quote (")
with a simple cfg_setstr and then you print the resulting configuration
file with cfg_print, the generated configuration is invalid:
parameter = "text " with quotes"
The quote needs to be escaped with a backslash.
If the string contains a backslash, it will usually disappear. It needs to be
doubled...
I have a quick & dirty patch for this:
