When I reopen my config.plist after saving and exiting, some properties disappear

[macap68]

To reopen the config.plist I created:
ctrl+o to select OC folder and the config.plist
crtl+r to select OC folder and load current snapshot (is correct?)
After that under UEFI there is only Drivers property, but there are a lot of other for example APFS, AppleInput, Audio etc.

What's wrong?
Platform w10, Pyton 3.10.7

Thanks in advance

Can you send the config.plist before and after snapshotting? It sounds like you didn't open it before running the OC Snapshot - as that only touches ACPI - Add, Kernel - Add, Misc - Tools, and UEFI - Drivers. It will not affect anything else.

This is the config.plist saved after all changes

Yeah - that list is unreadable. Can you send the actual config files before and after?

[macap68]

Sorry, let me know if they are readable. But how can get config.plist before screenshot?

If you haven't saved the resulting config after running OC Snapshot - you could just upload it here, then snapshot, then save the results as config-snapshot.plist or similar and upload that as well.

[macap68]

Hello, this is the .plist before and after the snapshot. if you open after_snapshot at line 250 there is the UEFI section and all subsections (APFS, AppleInnput, Audio, ConnectDrivers and Drivers, etc.) as expected, but at line 1741 there is another UEFI section with the Driver subsection that overrides the previous one in the plist editor. I don't know why it appears after getting the snapshot.

Hey there - sorry, I'm still not seeing the config.plists in your messages. Looks like you may be replying by email instead of in the issue thread on github directly? You could upload both configs to something like pastebin and then send the links here.

-CorpNewt

[macap68]

config_before_snapshot.plist.txt
config_after_snapshot.plist.txt

Sorry, I renamed both file adding .txt extension.
Let me know if you are able to read them

[corpnewt]

Alright - the issue here is that your UEFI section is in the wrong place. It should be at config.plist -> UEFI, but in your before config, it's at config.plist -> Booter -> Quirks -> UEFI per the following screenshot:

ProperTree is adding the information for UEFI -> Drivers into the right place - but the original config is not organized correctly, and as such, it's not merging the info as you'd expect. To fix it, first move your UEFI key to the root of the config (so it's at config.plist -> UEFI), and then run the OC Snapshot and it should work as expected.

-CorpNewt

[macap68]

Okay, I agree with you, but how did it go to the wrong place?
I started from Sample.plist in Opencore-0.8.5-Release and made the changes following the Opencore Install Guide
https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config-laptop.plist/haswell.html#starting-point
Now I don't know if there could be other sections misaligned and create problems in the installation of the mac.
Should I double check all the sections or start from scratch?

[corpnewt]

ProperTree allows you to drag nodes around - I'm betting it was dragged there accidentally, and correcting it should be as simple as dragging it back to the proper location.

You can use OCConfigCompare or ocvalidate to check the structure of the config.plist against what OpenCore will expect, and let you know if there are any other structural issues.

-CorpNewt

[macap68]

Perfect, I'll do this and let you know!
