Scripting User Preferences

jeremy_fourman — Thu, 14 Jan 2016 14:18:44 GMT

Hello and thank you in advance.

I am currently working at a location where all QV development is done from a terminal, I was wondering if anyone is aware of a way to script user preferences, maybe just copy a backup copy of a config file to somewhere and replace it after reboot? I looked for a configuration file that would contain this information and wasn't able to find one.

What is happening is after every reboot our User Preferences are reset, items such as design toolbar and 'Always Show Design Menu Items' many and a few other things need to be reset. This wouldn't be so bad but they make us reboot very frequently.

Again thanks for any insight offered.

When you say "terminal" does that mean you are using Terminal Services / RDP or Citrix ?

All your User Preferences are stored in

"C:\Users\youruserid\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView\Settings.ini"

You can save and restore this file to reestablish your settings.

Sorry should have been more specific, it is a 'liquid' Citrix terminal.

Rob that is the first place I looked and couldn't find it but I did end up locating it in a different spot

C:\Users\{user id }\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AppV\Client\VFS\{some guid}\AppData\QlikTech

Thank you both for the responses, marking Rob correct.
