Combine Configuration Files during Install

Submitted by Member on ‎02-08-2019 11:02 AM 2 Comments (2 New)

Type Files have a feature to combine files from an install: files prefixed with 'Install_' get merged file existing file (explained here).

 

I am building a ModelPlugin, and I would like it to be enabled and configured in the Result Processing after install (users should intentionally opt out of using the installed plugin instead of opt-in). The settings are saved in ResultProcessing.cfg, and there is no merge feature available. Placing my own ResultProcessing.cfg will remove any previous settings the user had configured (or other plugins). I would like to be able to place a 'Install_ResultProcessing.cfg' that gets merged upon TestStand launch similar to type files.

- Regards,

Beutlich

A similar feature for StationGlobals.ini and Users.ini would also be useful.

Yes, this would be great.  We have created many custom plugins and recently updated the Options type on two of them and then upon installation received a type conflict problem because ResultProcessing.cfg stores the type information.
