QlikView May 2022 now, by default, saves files in .qvf format. Is it possible to revert to .qvw as the default?
Follow these steps:
In order to revert the change, the setting can be changed to "QvDefaultFileFormat=qvf"
QlikView May 2022 (12.70) IR or higher
Is it possible to apply these settings to all users or do we have to do it for each user individually?
Hello @VivenReddy
The QlikView Desktop client is an individual install and will need to be modified for each individual install. The QlikView server cannot push the changes to clients.
A third-party program could be used to modify the files using a domain policy, but Qlik cannot provide a guide on how to achieve this.
All the best,
Sonja
Thanks for the response Sonja.
Yes that make sense for individual installations. I should have been more specific. I was think about the Desktop client installed on a server and there could be multiple developers accessing the application on the server.
Hello @VivenReddy
Thank you for clarifying!
Since the settings.ini is stored in the individual user folder (C:\Users\<User>\), these changes will only impact the specific user.
All the best,
Sonja
