Tip #30 - Configuration Files - fileProGI
All developers with filePro should be familiar with the configuration table. This sets the default colors, environment variables and printers. This is handled differently with fileProGI.
As it was installed, a table called default.config was created in the folder: \fileproGI\fp\fpserver\users
| startcmd="p GIruntime" |
| pfprog=h:\fileprogi |
| pfdata=h: |
| pfdropshadow=off |
| pfdsk=h |
| pfdir=\fileprogi |
| pfnewntconsole=on |
| log=false |
| debuglog=false |
| displaymessages=false |
| startdir=h:\fpgi\fp |
| PATH=%PFPROG%\fp;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND |
Then as a user logs into the system a second table of variables is added to the stack. The case of a variable is critical. Be sure to stay with lower case, since the default table created during installation will use lower case variables.
Table called: nancy.config
| password=mos |
| startcmd="H:\fileprogi\fp\p mos" |
| pfmenu=D:\md50\filepro\menus |
| pfdir=\md50 |
| pfdsk=D |
| pfdata=D: |
| pftmp=d:\tmp |
This will start with the menu called "mos". Notice that the location of the data and menus is quite different. These two files will work together, with the user variables taking precedence over the default configuration settings.
