Different INI-files

[Vincent Verswijvel]

Hi

 

After opening the same project folder by different people on a shared server, we've received a new question. 

 

I've never encountered this before and I would like to know what these different ini-files exactly mean and if there's an associated risk with this situation. 

 

Kind regards

Hi Vincent,

When multiple people access the same project folder, RockWorks has the capability to use different ini files.  The ini file hold the plethora of settings used by RockWorks.  Since each person might be doing different things in RockWorks that might conflict with other user's settings, you may set a User Prefix to use when Naming Files (Setup Menu | Miscellaneous tab).  See the help topic: 

https://help.rockware.com/rockworks/WebHelp/view_preferences.htm#miscellaneous

If you wish to no longer use this feature, clear the prefix value and then in the project's System folder delete all the ini files except Project.ini.

Thanks, Jim
