Re: Barracuda 1.2.0 released

Ok I went ahead and updated BarracudaDiscRack from cvs, removed 
discRack.prp, and ran ant. It successfully copied the sample file over 
and put in the correct path.

However, even after cycling the app It hasn't automatically created the 
tmp folder in idb yet the application works without the trace.log file. 
Before it would create the file as soon as I tried using the app, even 
though it wouldn't actually log anything. Did you also change something 
so that it won't create the file until it actually needs it?
