All other options will be stored in the workspace. Workspace-specific settings remain active independent of the current user. Accordingly, the settings change if another workspace is loaded.
However, it is possible to define a workspace-specific setting as default for new workspaces. The workspace-specific settings of the current workspace are stored in the local INI file. When creating a new workspace, the settings from the INI file will be used as default for the new workspace.
The settings of CanEasy contains user-specific and workspace-specific options. Workspace-specific options could be saved in the INI file as new default values for workspaces.
The transfer of workspace-specific options to local default settings can be configured with the following buttons:
•Standard
Saves the current settings of the loaded workspace into the configuration file CanEasy.INI.
•Reset
Sets all settings of workspaces to the last saved setting in the configuration file CanEasy.INI.
The INI file CanEasy.INI is located C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\CanEasy |
