Save path of options

[Powder]

Hello,
is there somewhere a "ini-file" where all the options of "Tools"+"Options"
are saved? So somewhere, where i can see which checkboxes are checked and
so on.
Thx
Martin

.... \National Instruments\Labview 7\Labview.ini

Same directory as labview.exe

There are several possible locations depending on platform, version, and
command line options.

For recent LV on Windows, your options are next to the executable in a
file "exename".ini where exename is the name of the LV editor or built
executable. You can also use the -pref option to place the file
wherever you like and give it another name. If the file isn't located
next to the executable, it might be possible that it is in your user
directory. If this doesn't help, ask again and I can look into it
further when I'm near a PC.

Hi,

Try Labview.ini in the labview executable directory ("C:\program
files\labview\labview x(\labview x)" or something)/

Wiebe.

Hello,
specially i´m looking for "Options" +"Front Panel" -> [x] Use localiced
deciamal point.
I can´t find this one in the labview.ini

Can you try to change it, save the option, and see if it's in labview.ini? The default options are not shown in the ini file, however, once it is changed, you can see it.

Hello.
is it possible to read the options via "property node" (specially the
useLocaleDecimalPt)? Or do i have to read the ini-file manually to check in
which state i am.
Thx

Don't know if such property exists, but there are INI VIs under "FileIO >> Configuration File VIs". Just read the key and you are all set.
