Hello Arthur,
Yes, this part of it is good fun isn't it.
Not much practical use for it but definitely worth finding out.
No expertise here - just bootstrapping the problem.
I am using the last major upgrade (4.90) and haven't taken the betas.
I have a (nearly) virginal copy on my spare computer and sent a copy
of that to an external drive - definitely no layout or template stuff
altered (I am not a chartist and mostly only try that stuff as a
learning exercise etc)
I also have a working copy on my main desktop (pretty virginal also
especially when it comes to layouts/templates).
Using Windows Explorer search (when did files change?)
- searched the Virgin (careful now - this is a family show) and
surprised to find .layout and .awl properties > file modified up to
current date/minute and no files in data layouts folder.
- went to the working copy - the same applies (I have saved a one and
only template yesterday and plenty of different chat views).
- searched working copy AmiBroker folder and targeted files changed
to day time - change chart view (broker.newcharts, default.awl and
broker.watch change) - hit save button (broker.watch and broker
newcharts change) - right click chart > template > save default
(default.layout changes).
Question? - every time AB is closed the last chart view is the
default on opening AB - where is it saved (a pseudo default)?
Making a lucky guess I renamed files in the working copy -
.awl, .layouts, .newcharts and .watch and replaced them with copies
from the external caddie (clean version) - I replaced the
broker.watch in the database 'Copy of Data' (I thought that was my
default).
Opened the working copy of AB and voila - just as she was on install
(except the scale on the candles looks a bit funny bit I didn't chase
that down).
Also that wasn't my current default database bit it opened to the
default OK (the two databases involved are Yahoo DJIA as installed
and the same after a bit of tweaking (I am using them to write
trainging material for the UKB).
That takes you pretty close - a bit more investigation would make you
the AB 'waht file does what expert".
Happy hunting,
Brian.
