    Specify VarAC_traffic directory

    in VarAC discussion forum

    I run VarAC with different radios and different computers. I point all instances of VarAC to a common log file located on Dropbox. That way, I have only one log regardless of the radio or computer.


    It would be nice to have the ability to specify the directory for the VarAC_traffic file. That way, I could also locate it in a common Dropbox directory that could be accessed from all instances of VarAC. I would then be able to view the common Callsign history from all computers.


    Since the radios, audio ports, and CAT serial ports are different, I can't just put the VarAC directory on Dropbox and use the same files for everything.


    I suppose the same request would apply to other files such as VarAC_frequencies.conf.


    One approach would be to enable selection of a specific VarAC.ini file, i.e. have more than one VarAC.ini file.

    Easier solution is to have multiple VarAC.ini files with each configuration and run the same VarAC.exe but with different ini files.


    ex:

    CMD> cd c:\VarAC

    CMD> VarAC.exe VarAC_set1.ini

    CMD> VarAC.exe VarAC_set2.ini

    I figured using two VarAC.ini files would be a good approach. You explained how to implement that in an easy way. Thanks.

    An .ini file name unique to each setup can be added to the launch command in a Windows shortcut. Same result as your suggestion but easier to implement and execute.
