All the .usr files are cryptic, which is why just being able to view them with a text editor is insufficient.
Colors would be represented as a small block of the applicable color or the word "text" in the applicable color on a block of the applicable background color. Obviously, the report would not have much meaning printed to a black and white printer. I think the initial impetus is for a report of all the Options->Customize settings, but it certainly would be beneficial to extend it to include the other .usr files. It would also be beneficial to have for each setting name/description (at least optionally) the Legacy Default, User Default, and Current Setting included on the report. -----Original Message----- From: Brian/Support [mailto:br...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 7:03 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Settings Printout It may not be as simple as you think Paula. Have you ever looked inside one of the .usr files (they are plain text). All the report .usr files are just a list of cryptic numbers with an occasional path name, file name or people readable value. The program opens those files to write the options and reads the file when creating the report. What the numbers mean to the program are not documented without reading the code for the report or the option setup screen. Translating those into a user friendly report to print out would require quite some work. In some cases too there may be no easy translation. How do you translate a number representing a colour choice into something a human can understand when the colour palette is 16 million colours?
