Publish Quickdrop Shortcuts

[skusie]

Hi Quick Drop Enthusiasts,

Summary
The attached vi can be used for publishing quickdrop shortcuts from a file across all LabVIEW versions installed.

It searches for LabVIEW (2010-2015)\LabVIEW.ini files, reads quickdrop relevant keys from a file (LabVIEW.ini or custom configuration file) and writes (overwrites existing keys) them to all found LabVIEW.ini files.

Motivation
I have to manage programs from multiple LabVIEW versions on different machines and don't want to do it without my personal quickdrop shortcuts. Hence i created this program and a central quickdrop.ini which is accessible over a network drive. So i can easily gain fast access to my quickdrop shortcuts everywhere.

Limitations / Todos / Ideas
- overwrites existing keys

- it adds the "QuickDropKeyboardShortcutMappings"-key but doesn't move quickdrop plugins

- it doesn't move the "QuickDrop Templates Palette.mnu"

- just tested with 2013_32Bit, 2014_32Bit, 2014_64Bit, 2015_32Bit, 2015_64Bit

- check all existing keys for unique values and add it to the central file (as mentioned from D* here)

- put the central quickdrop.ini to a webserver

- add more keys which are not necessarily related  to the quickdrop function

I will appreciate any suggestions for improving and debugging this small tool.
