Component editors

In asn-File :

[FILES]

ide_state.zip           = C:\Uniface\ide_state_entw.zip
 

Norbert has already shown where this setup information is located.

About developers have individual setups:
There are several options for this.

a) If each developer has their own PC, simply use a local drive
ide_state.zip           = C:\Uniface\ide_state.zip

b) If each developer is assigned their own drive (e.g., U:), use that drive
ide_state.zip           = U:\Uniface\ide_state.zip
Where U is a drive letter assigned to a user directory on a server. 
This can be set up in Windows so that the mapping is established each time a user logs in
U:  =>  \\server\user\$user01

c) You must create a separate ASN file for each user, which is also accessed by the shortcut.
Solution c) can also be used if you want to have different environments with different setups

Since when does “ %%($username)”  work ?
And does it work for all file/path names in ASN and/or INI?
And does it work in file-operations in UnifAce itself?

Thanks to all that answered. I would have liked to put “Best answer” on every comment.

I solved it like this
[FILES]
ide_state.zip     = G:\myserver\Uniface10403\state\%%($USERNAME)\ide_state.zip

Apparently you need to use different files for every source-code, otherwise it empties the editors except for the last source used.

I also tried the Windows setting %userprofile% that I sometimes successfully use for customers as “Start in”-directory of the Application start definition.
It somehow worked but apparently didn’t write to the correct user home-directory, but just to some recent directories, and the state was lost.

 

I can’t remember exactly where it came in, and searching patch notes is not helping, but here’s the documentation.
