Mobil version/file startup
#1
I'm trying out QM using a usb key but when ever I start it on a ws, it always starts up with a blank qml file rather than the one on the key.

i'm starting qm from a shortcut in the root of the usb key; isn't there a way to tell it to use the qml a few directories deeper rather than startup blank?

thanks

What is shortcut path, and what is Target in shortcut's properties?

I don't know how to make shortcut which target path would be relative to shortcut path. Try batch file instead. For example, I create New Folder on desktop, and test.txt in it. Then I create a.bat file on desktop. Text:

start .\NewFol~1\test.txt

When I run a.bat, runs test.txt which is in New Folder, that is one folder deeper than a.bat.

my usb key will "most" times end up as E: but not always. here is the layout when it does.

E:\Programs\Quick Macros 2\qm.exe
E:\Programs\Quick Macros 2\My QM\main.qml

I don't really need to launch it with a shortcut; I was just thinking that I could do a command line param that would force it to load with the main.qml that way.

I've been launching it and then changing the "personal folder" to $qm$\my qm which is on the usb key.

Thanks.

It is possible to automatically transfer QM settings, including QM file path, from one computer to other.

Setup on your computer:
Run e:\...qm.exe on your computer. Open e:...\My QM\main.qml. Make sure that all QM settings are good (they will be transferred to other computers). Click Options -> Export Settings to export QM registry settings to qmreg5.reg. Open the reg file in notepad and find "file"=... . If it is full path, replace to "file"="$qm$\\My QM\\main.qml". If you are going to use QM on Win98/Me too, you also need to export qm settings on Win98/Me, because other reg file format is used. Then exports to qmreg4.reg.

Setup on other computers:
No setup required. Just run QM. When QM starts first time on a computer (when QM registry key does not exist), it imports the reg file (must be in $qm$) to the registry. Read more in help -> Network Setup. I don't recommend to change $my qm$ path.

my goal is to have all the files on the key without having to
  • start qm from the key
    change the files setting to save new macros to the key (sometimes I create new ones while working on a workstation and want to use them on the next ws i work on)
    restart qm from the key (it is now using the key as the place to get the macros from)

is this possble?

My previous post is about that.

sorry i read that so fast i was thinking you were talking about the qml file itself and not the reg file.
