udg Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 14, 2014 #1 Hi all, I'd like to have a simple user-driven way to set a couple of initializing parameters to a "black box" application. What I mean here is that the final user should be able to change a row in a text file (or any easy equivalent action) before launching my app. The app will then read that config and operate accordingly. What I'd like to get rid off is the usual config menu buried in the app. Have you any hint for me? Something like an external folder where the user can edit/insert a file then read by the app on its execution? TIA Umberto
