| 15 | DESCRIPTION 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 | |
|---|
| 20 | NOTES 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}). |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | SECTION 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 | |
|---|
| 49 | EXAMPLES None |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | WARNINGS 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! |
