Error Reading EQ2.ini

[Sundive-Ocelot]

I already know why I have the error. I made EQ2.ini read only. I got sick of (what I thought at the time) ThorUI resetting my EQ2.ini file every time it updated. Why did I get tired? I added the "cl_movie_enabled 0" line to kill the video and something kept wiping out that line every time it updated.

I was surprised to learn it wasn't ThorUI but EQ2MAP. I don't care too much about the error. It's that now every time I launch EQ2MAP it downloads the entire files over again. POI's and zones.

Is there any way to fix EQ2MAP from re-writing my EQ2.ini file every time the updater is launched? Or finding a way to have EQ2MAP download the files just once? Or perhaps another solution? (Removing the read - only tag from the EQ2.ini file is not an option.)
