Command: dumpProps
Description:
Shows a list of properties. A property is a (name, value) pair. The
operating system uses properties for various settings like:
- os.name=Mac OS X
- os.version=10.6.5
- user.name=firmenich
CADEMIA also uses properties. Examples are the property
MaxCmdHistorySize for the maximum number of undoable commands, the
property MouseStroke-LD for the action on dragging the mouse with
the left button pressed or the property DigStyle for the current
digitize style.
Properties are stored in two separate property files:
- The CADEMIA property file contains properties for all users. It is
stored with the CADEMIA program.
- The user's property file has the name cademia.ini and is stored in
the user's home directory.
This distinction allows the user to separate the general CADEMIA system
properties from his own individual properties thereby reusing them after
installing a new CADEMIA version.
