Where are Report Options settings stored locally?

Where (folder/file) are the settings stored on computer for things like Report Options, etc.?  Is it a .INI file we can view?

Most of those settings are stored in the "TSAppData\Cfg" folder, which is located in a directory similar to C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 2019 (32-bit)\Cfg.  Most specifically on the report options, dive deeper into the ModelPlugins folder to find ResultProcessing.cfg.  This is actually an XML file.

Thanks  crossrulz!

I found this XML file, but doesn't look like it updated the contents based on what I entered in the Report Options UI.  The file's modified date/time is also not the same when I updated.  It must be getting saved somewhere else.

By Report Options UI, you are referring to when you go to Configure -> Result Processing? I'm also assuming you are using a default Process Model, because the behavior can change if you are using a custom one.

But by default, all that information is saved to "C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand ###\Cfg\ModelPlugins\ResultProcessing.cfg"

It updates when you close out of that Result Processing window. And the timestamp will change if you made changes.

If that is not doing it, I would check your Environment. Configure -> Environment. If it's not set to the Global environment, or if you have enabled custom directories, it will save to a different place.

@ShockHouse  Thanks for the help.  That was what I noticed where I pointed my config directory to another location under Configure > Station Options... > Preferences > Configuration Directory.
