hmm, ok i think we still talk about different stuff...

you saying all the settings are stored in some xml file ?

where is that file ? i mean on my drive ?parkl

if i find that file i could just write a small app which always replaces that file before i start the app with a the version i want....

if you of course make a dialog which woud allow me to save the config to a file i want and load a config from a file i want that would make thinks easy!

yeah i suppose tis would be a good compromise. I will see what i can do for you over the next few updates. I still need a limit as the app needs to know and name each config file. yes they are in an zml file i only found this out about 2 weeks ago.
Its not an easy one to find. One thing you could so hat would work in xp is create diiferent logins on the machine. each user gets a personilised config so you could create as many users as sites then switch user. Not ideal but would work well for the moment

sorry, i'm confused...

the xml file is stored where ? on my zm server ?

i'm talking about the config for YOUR windows app ?

all the setting e.g. which ip for which cam etc ? wjere is that stuff stored ?

yes its on your machine. they way i found it was to use windows search to search for all files containg a string you have in your settings

Windows assigns it a key through the registry. The file name is the same as the key under your profile in one of the many hidden directorys for your applications.

This is a windows thing to allow each user to have there own settings.

Phil, remember that alarm status thingy we were on about, how do i get at it?

This rings a vague bell but I can't exactly remember what it was. Was it via an url or some other method?

it was a url i rember you posted a temp thingy you had running on your system, regarding alarm state and alarm count. I think there was 2 url's
one with general system info etc and one with all the monitors. but it neednt be a url, it can be what evers fastest. I was wondering if mysql would be a better way

Ah, I'll go check and get back to you.
