Shared options

[motivatedgorilla]

Is there a way that I can implement shared options between multiple users? For example, we have a shared EAP file between 2 -3 users and I want to ensure we have the same options settings. Is there a way to do this from a central point of view so that if I were to make an option change as the "Administrator", it is inherited

You need to replicate the EA registry entry. That sort of works but from an admin view is likely not the nicest approach.

Hi Qwerty
[I'm digging again, thinking it best to search for prior than make new thread - reduces proliferation and makes it easier in future for others to pick up THE thread?]
Which parts of the EA registry entry should one pick to replicate, for which settings?
Thanks

Most of the options are stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS

You should also note that not all settings are stored in the registry. Some are instead stored in the project itself, which of course means that other users share them automatically -- but only within that same project. Some things even get written to disk (to the user's %APPDATA% directory). Which settings go where is not documented.

In general, most of the stuff in the Options dialog go in the registry, and most of the stuff in the Settings menu go to the project. Local paths, though, go to %APPDATA%, and MDG Technology selections go in the registry.

Also, some of the stuff in the registry, like recent files and window layout, probably shouldn't be replicated between users since that would get confusing.

HTH,
