Load data on redesign: off

In this month's Inside Sesame, Alec talks about an .ini switch that allows you to make a DSR from a DB without copying over any of the stored data, which helps speed up the opening of the DSR.

Problem is, I use a good number of different .ini files for different reasons, mainly due to different screen resolutions, so editing the .ini file each time could get confusing.

Would it be possible to make this choice (redesign without data) a selection on the Application Utilities menu of the Sesame Database Manager?

Not a bad idea. We can put it in as a feature request.

A while back, I wrote:

Here's something I've noticed.  One of my shortcuts has this as a property:
Quote:
C:\Sesame\Program\sesame.exe -ini_file C:\Sesame\1150-950-sesame.ini

This has a "Start In" value of C:\Sesame.  The "1150-950" represents the dimensions of the Sesame window which opens.

When clicked, Sesame starts fine, and uses the screen dimensions specified in 1150-950-sesame.ini.  However, when I use the application utility to redesign the application, it uses the "Load data on redesign" switch specified in the sesame.ini file located in C:\Sesame, ignoring the specification in 1150-950-sesame.ini.

I have several such .ini files which set different window dimensions.  However, no matter which shortcut I use, they always set the screen dimensions specified in the shortcut's command string, but use the "Load data on redesign" switch specified in C:\Sesame\sesame.ini.

This, of course, solves my problem of having to edit multiple .ini files if I want the redesign to include data or not, but begs the question of which .ini file is actually controlling the process.  Any thoughts?

Hello Scott,

I am almost certain that the Sesame Server's INI file controls the Load Data On Redesign setting.
