Environment variable in settings.dat

[mr_steph]

Hi,

it's possible to use Environment variable (%TEMP% or %TMP%) in settings.dat.
i actually use "LoadSettings" function and i need to control the temporary path of downloaded pdf to trash it after consultation.

if it's not possible, have you another method?

Thanks

Hello mr_steph

Hi, mr_steph.

We cannot resolve the %TEMP% (or other environment variables) in the path-names from the settings.dat.
We use the end-user's temporary directory (GetTempPath and GetTempFileName API-finctions used for this) for internal requirements and it cannot be changed by developer's in the current version.

But if you refer to "Open from URL" feature then the download-directory can be changed programmatically by:

Code: Select all

ax.SetProperty("Documents.DownloadFolder", "<YourCustomDownloadFolder>", 0);

Please provide some more details regarding this case as probably we can help you more..

Best
Regards.
