[amibroker] Re: Where does Amibroker store its formula files

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

An easy way to check is to:

Run Amibroker
Switch to Charts tab
Expand Custom folder
Right click and select Edit for any file that you want to locate
>From Amibroker editor, click File menu and Save As menu item

Now you can see exactly where that file currently resides via the Windows save dialog.

Cancel out of the save dialog to leave things unchanged.

Unlike previous versions of Amibroker in my previous computer whereby the Amibroker directory was found in C:\Program Files\, this particular installation on my new computer has the Amibroker directory located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ instead, which I thought was a little strange but OK, as Amibroker seems to be working well.

Once again, all my formulas and charts seem to work OK, Amibroker appears to be refering to the correct directory, so no problems.

I then went into the C:\ Program files (x86)\Amibroker to check that the changes that I had made within Amibroker was corrected reflected inside C:\ Program files (x86)\Amibroker. To my surprise, the work that I had saved within Amibroker was not updated within the C:\ Program files (x86)\Amibroker directory. I tried to make some more changes within Amibroker and once again these changes were not reflected in the Program files (x86)\Amibroker directory.

Sure enough, Amibroker picked it up the new directory, but not only that, it also retained all the changes that I had made to the various formulas. So from Amibroker's point of view, everything is working OK. My question then is where is Amibroker storing all of its formulas ??, if its not inside C:\ Program files (x86)\Amibroker\Formulas
