1. Saving user preferences

... spent many hours working on it. This topic is getting rather bad-tempered -- my fault, I know. Let's stick to discussing the practicalities rather than having a slanging match. regards, Martin. posted: 2 Apr 2009 12:44 from: Pete Brownlow Martin, Please write out 1000 times: "I will not rise to the bait when Brian posts to the forum!"

It would be useful to know which preferences are being saved, but if the save file is ini format, then it's easy enough to go and look at that to see what has been saved.

Aren't there more important needs dealing with the actual functioning of Templot Hi Ken, Well yes, I think so. But there have been endless requests over the years to save program settings between sessions. It's a major task, it has all sorts of unwelcome consequences, but I have finally given in and done something about it against my better judgement: saved_prefs_dialog.png Discussed at length in this topic: topic 752 Anyway can't you already go straight to printing by right clicking on the template you wish to print?

... automatically whenever there is a change or on demand by the user. Hi Nicholas, Welcome to Templot Club. Thanks for your feedback. If you read back through some of the topics on here you will find that many of the points you are making have been discussed many times over the years.

Templot saves a rolling backup file every time there is a change to the storage box contents. The time interval is irrelevant. Microsoft Word is a text-based business application.
