Saving and Restoring Navigator Configurations
Saving
You can save your Navigator configurations by selecting File=>Save Configuration. This command brings up a standard file tool dialog box. Use this dialog to specify the directory and filename for the save file.
The default configuration file name is: nav-cfg.sav.
 
note
Navigator configuration files saved under Unix are not compatible with Windows, and vice-versa. This is due to the fact that the entire pathnames of the tool's icon are saved in this file. If you would like your own personal Navigator, and are working in a mixed environment, then the best solution is to save a configuration on each platform in your default directory under the default Navigator Configuration Filename, (found in nav.ads, currently nav-cfg.sav). The algorithm for finding the default file is:
*On UNIX: Current directory then check HOME environment variable
*On Windows: Current directory
*Check HOMEPATH environment variable then
*Check HOMEDRIVE environment variable then
*Check WINDIR environment variable then
*Check !DIR system variable
Restoring
To restore a saved configuration, select File=>Restore Configuration. This command brings up a standard file tool dialog box. Use this dialog to select a saved configuration file from your system.
When you restore a configuration file, the configurations are immediately applied to the Navigator.
You can also specify a configuration file when you start the Navigator. See Starting the Navigator for more information.
