Using Backup/Restore Configuration to share configuration with own PC or others?

[r47926]

@Leo

I'll change and overwrite all kinds of settings they have no idea about [...]

That would have been my next question... How can I share a specific set of preferences?
I extracted a .ocb and looked inside, but haven't found a file with preferences yet.
Would sharing an .ocb file with only specific preferences be the way to share preferences with other users? Or is there another way?

@Leo

Then they'll post questions on the forum about something strange happening, and we finally work out what was going on and point out it's not that way by default, they'll say it wasn't them and be even more confused.

Sounds like every support staff's biggest nightmare!
BTW, is Dopus really only developed by three guys, as listed in About? It seems like such a complex software and you also help the users with questions in this forum regularly.

Looks like this:

js

function OnInit(initData) {
    initData.name = 'StartupAndShutdown';
    initData.default_enable = true;
    initData.min_version = '12.0';
}

function OnStartup(startupData) {
    var cmd = DOpus.Create().Command();
    var wne = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Network');

    var thisPC = wne.ComputerName;
    DOpus.Output('thisPC:                ' + thisPC);

    if (thisPC == 'A') {
        cmd.RunCommand('Favorites ALIAS=set       NAME=Books      PATH="X:\\Books"');
    } else if (thisPC == 'B') {
        cmd.RunCommand('Favorites ALIAS=set       NAME=Books      PATH="Y:\\Books"');
    } else if (thisPC == 'C') {
        // 
    } else if (thisPC == 'D') {
        // 
    } else {
        //
    }
}

Many thanks, Ixp! I will try it out using the Startup preferences:

Is there a 'startup' event in DOpus, where I could execute a script?

The OnStartup scripting event is for that. Note that you cannot ensure your script runs before any others which also handle the same event. There is also, under Preferences / Launching Opus / Startup, a place where you can specify a command to run …
