Saving Settings

Once you have configured QView to perform the operations you would like, you can save the settings to a configuration file. Use the Save Settings option in the File menu to do this.

By default, QView Pro will load settings from the QVIEWW.INI file in the directory where the QVIEWW16.EXE application is stored.

You can specify multiple configurations by using the full path and file name on the command line. For example, you can load a different configuration with QVIEWW16 C:\QVCFG.INI. In this example, QView will look for the QVCFG.INI file on C:\ for preferences.

File Format:

The configuration is saved to a standard text-based .INI file. You can edit this with a text editor.

The configuration file uses the standard windows INI format. Section names are in [Brackets] and options are listed as OPTION=SETTING.

[GeneralOptions] The first section contains options that are used by all of QView Pro. This includes the window position and screen colors.

[QueueDefault] The next section contains all features for the default queue window.

[Queue=//server/queue] The remaining sections are used to specify options for all queue windows. The section title lists the queue name in bindery or NDS format.

QView only saves the differences from the default settings for each window. If all windows use the same message for duplicate warnings, QView will only save the message in the [QueueDefault] section and omit the option from the queue window section. This saves space in the INI file.

Windows limits the size of any INI file to just under 64K. This limitation of Windows also prevents you from adding hundreds of fonts to your system because the win.ini file can only be 64K.
