Hello,
Did I say you can not run multiple computers?
No I
didn't.
Did I say you can not share files?
No I didn't.
What DID I SAY ???
I did that you *can* share files if you run ONE machine at a
time and then perform synchronization.
If you don't your synchronization tool will probably use the
"NEWEST" (the least recently stored
file) which may or may not be what you wanted.
But this is SO FOR ALL file-based applications. There is no
miracle or something strange here.
In all file-based applications, the last write overwrites
previous writes.
And as to "AB architecture" - I have ALREADY made significant
work to allow to MOVE ENTIRE LAYOUTS
from one computer to the other without
problems. All you need to do is to
*READ THE MANUAL*
Quote:
"
In addition to old local template format a
new one is added with .chart extension that
keeps not only window sizes and formula references (paths) but also formulas
themselves,so all you need to do is to save your chart into one file (Chart
Template, Complete *.chart) and copy that file onto different computer and chart
will be recreated with all formulas linked to it.
To Save
chart into new format do the following:
1. Click with RIGHT MOUSE button over the chart and select
Template->Save...
2. In the file dialog, "Files of type" combo select
"Chart Template, Complete (*.chart)"
3. Type the file name and click
Save.
To load previously saved complete chart do the following:
1.
Click with RIGHT MOUSE button over the chart and select
Template->Load...
2. In the file dialog, select previously saved
*.chart file and press "Open"
Note: The procedure AmiBroker does
internally is as follows: When you save the chart into new format it saves XML
file with:
a) names of all sheets, panes, their sizes, locations and
other settings
b) paths to all formulas used by all panes
c) the text of
formulas themselves
When you load the chart in new format
AmiBroker:
a) sets up the sheets/panes according to information stored in the
file
b) for each formula stored in the file it checks if the same formula
exists already on target computer:
- if it does not exist - it will create
one
- if it exists and the contents is identical to the formula stored in
.chart file it will do nothing
- if it exists and the contents is different
then it will create NEW formula filewith _imported.afl suffix (so old file is
not touched) and will reference the pane to the _imported.afl formula
instead.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you use any
#include files AmiBroker will store the contentsof include files as well inside
chart file and will attempt to recreate them on target machine. Please note that
in case of includes it will check if it exists and if it is different. If both
conditions are met (different file exists already) it will ask to replace or
not. If you choose to replace - it will replace and make backup of existing one
with .bak extensionIf you are using any files in "standard include files and
include them using <> braces, AmiBroker will restore files in target
machine standard include folder as well evenif the standard include folder path
is different on the source machine).
A new .chart format is intended to be used to port charts between
different computers. For storing layouts/templates on local
computer you should rather use old formats as they consume much less space (they
store only references,not the formulas themselves). One may however use new
format for archiving purposes as it keeps formulas and all references in one
file that is very convenient for backups.
