Georg Franz	Saturday 13 December 2003 1:44:26 pm Hi, the longer I work with ez3 the more I dislike the "ini-file-system". I don't know (and I don't want to know it) how many ini-files I have on my system. So, why are they needed? We have nice databases, so why not putting the ini-settings completely in the database and make an "ini-Manager"? There could be many advantages. One "small" advantage: You can't make typos if a special value is needed. ... just an idea ... Kind regards, Emil.

Hi,

the longer I work with ez3 the more I dislike the "ini-file-system".

I don't know (and I don't want to know it) how many ini-files I have on my system.

So, why are they needed? We have nice databases, so why not putting the ini-settings completely in the database and make an "ini-Manager"?

There could be many advantages. One "small" advantage: You can't make typos if a special value is needed.

... just an idea ...

Kind regards,
Emil.

Best wishes,
Georg.
