Problem with resetting settings.ini by QlikView

[danosoft]

Hi i have this problem, QlikView sometimes in automatic reset the setting.ini file... i not understand why..

i mean the file settings.ini into this directory:  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikView

i think that becouse sometimes qlik ask me to choice the language of my interface, lost all recently files open, and ask me to allow safe macro when a project have a macro....

has anyone had this problem know how to fix it?

Thanks

Thanks, let me know if you find something, thanks for reply, yes i am in the server and i open QV there for modified my project with the user where the .ini file directory.

Sincerly i not know if the .ini file can be the problem, but i think yes becouse for all things i wrote before.

BTW sometimes qlik ask me to choice the language of my interface, lost all recently files open, and ask me to allow safe macro when a project have a macro.... (like the picture i sent before)

Just take another look on my first answer within this posting. You need to monitor in some way who used the settings.ini and when is it stored and what is the filetime when the file is replaced with the default one to find the cause.

Marcus is spot on in his diagnosis here, the macro is a symptom of things, not the cause, the macro security selection is written to the Settings.ini in one of three sections, Module Checksums Blocked, Module Checksums Safe and Module Checksums System I believe, so the underlying root cause is why you do not have rights to modify the Settings.ini file within your User Profile, which you are going to need to open a ticket with your internal HelpDesk team to resolve, as we cannot tell you why that is going to be, but that should be the root cause.  The reason things work while you have the app open is things are stored in memory, so all good until you close the QV.exe process, then those settings are cleared from memory and we are back to the cycle of having to make the selection again...
