Add me to a list who thinks that have the ability to print out the current settings would be quite useful. Since having a stroke, my memory is seriously flawed. By the time I click then scroll through each category, I’ve forgotten what I was looking for! grin If I get a wild idea to make a change and then decide I hate it, I have to guess at what I changed and what it had been. You can imagine the mess that can quickly be made as the memory errors combine! LOL!! GUI developers can’t assume that their user base is just like them.

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?

RE: [LegacyUG] Settings Printout
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.

RE: [LegacyUG] Settings Printout
Brian, Kurt, Paula, It may not be simple Brian but it isn't complex and the usefulness certainly makes it worth doing. I totally agree with Kurt and Paula. In addition only options 3.9, 6.3, 9.1 9.2 would require color settings blocks everything else is text.

I beg to differ a little with your comments about the meaning of numbers.
Sensible programming standards would, at the very least, dictate a more-easily
remembered set of identifiers for these numbers. In effect these are enumerators
(in VB, C#, C++ terms). For example
Enum {
January = 1
February
etc
December
} Month
Coding should then refer to Month.March rather than the number 3. Thus, the code
becomes self-documenting.
Also, assuming that Legacy 8 is based on .NET (a big assumption, but I do see
evidence of WPF having being used), then it is possible to convert the other
way, such that where a field, nominally defined as a Month, contains the value
3, the value March can be extracted. This would greatly simplify - but not
shorten - the task :-)
As for the names of colours, the main ones (not all 16 million) have been
assigned names by Microsoft. They read like a paint chart :-)
