These files are located in the directory pointed to by the environmentvariable $ARB_PROP (which defaults to '~/.arb_prop' in your home directory). See also LINK{arb_envar.hlp}. NOTES To reset ARB to it's defaults simply remove one/all *.arb files from the directory '~/.arb_prop' The files in ~/.arb_prop are textfiles. Advanced users may remove or change single sections or entries. You can hand over your properties to another user by giving him your property-files. Several windows provide a more fine-grained possibility to exchange settings with other users, using the Save/Load functions for configurations (see LINK{prop_configs.hlp}). SECTION GENERAL NOTES ABOUT PROPERTIES Most settings you can change in ARB are saved either - to properties or - with your database. Nevertheless some setting are not stored anywhere (some intentionally, some by mistake). Please notify LINK{arb@arb-home.de} if you think - a setting should be saved in properties (instead of always setting the same useless default value) - a setting should be saved in the database instead of properties (or vice versa) EXAMPLES None WARNINGS Better make backups of these files before you change them. Be careful with ARB_MERGE: It uses the same properties as ARB_NT! BUGS No bugs known
