11TITLE           Save properties
12
13OCCURRENCE      <any properties menu>/Save properties
14
15DESCRIPTION     Saves the userdefined setup (colours, fonts, ...) to property files.
16                These files are located in the directory pointed to by the
17                environmentvariable $ARB_PROP (which defaults to '~/.arb_prop' in your
18                home directory). See also LINK{arb_envar.hlp}.
19
20NOTES           To reset ARB to it's defaults simply remove one/all *.arb
21                files from the directory '~/.arb_prop'
22
23                The files in ~/.arb_prop are textfiles. Advanced users may
24                remove or change single sections or entries.
25
26                You can hand over your properties to another user by giving him
27                your property-files.
28
29                Several windows provide a more fine-grained possibility
30                to exchange settings with other users, using the Save/Load
31                functions for configurations (see LINK{prop_configs.hlp}).

33SECTION GENERAL NOTES ABOUT PROPERTIES
34
35    Most settings you can change in ARB are saved either
36
37          - to properties or
38          - with your database.
39
40    Nevertheless some setting are not stored anywhere (some intentionally, some by mistake).
41
42    Please notify LINK{arb@arb-home.de} if you think
43
44      - a setting should be saved in properties (instead of always setting
45        the same useless default value)
46      - a setting should be saved in the database instead of properties (or
47        vice versa)
48
49EXAMPLES        None
50
51WARNINGS        Better make backups of these files before you change them.
52
53                Be careful with ARB_MERGE: It uses the same properties as ARB_NT!

55BUGS            No bugs known
