Save Configuration Dialog Box

Use the Save Configuration dialog box to configure which parts of your configuration you want to save to the project file.

Figure 1. Save Configuration Dialog Box

The Save Configuration dialog box offers the following options:

• Options

  Check this option to save the current option and message settings when a configuration is written. By disabling this option, the last saved content remains valid.

• Editor Configuration

  Check this option to save the current editor setting when a configuration is written. By disabling this option, the last saved content remains valid.

• Appearance

  Check this option to save items such as the window position (only loaded at startup time) and the command line content and history. By disabling this option, the last-saved content remains valid.

• Environment Variables

  Check this option to save the environment variable changes made in the Environment configuration dialog box.

  Note: By disabling selective options only some parts of a configuration file are written. For example, clear the Options checkbox when the best options are found. Subsequent future save commands will no longer modify the options.
• Save on Exit

  The application writes the configuration on exit. No question dialog box appears to confirm this operation. If this option is not set, the application will not write the configuration at exit, even if options or another part of the configuration have changed. No confirmation appears in either case when closing the application.

  Note: Most settings are stored in the configuration file only. The only exceptions are, the recently used configuration list, and all settings in this dialog box.
  Note: The application configurations can (and in fact are intended to) coexist in the same file as the project configuration of UltraEdit-32. When an editor is configured by the shell, the application reads this content out of the project file, if present. The project configuration file of the shell is named project.ini. This filename is also suggested (but not required) to be used by the application.
