1.7.1.4.4. Additional functions at $CADEANS_DEFAULTUSER

In the directory $CADENAS_DEFAULTUSER, there are some particularities regarding the displayed context menu commands in compare to the other directories.

The directory $CADENAS_DEFAULTUSER contains the same configuration files as $CADENAS_USER. The intention of the double listing is that personal settings can be made under $CADENAS_USER independently of the default settings under $CADENAS_DEFAULTUSER.

However, administratively, it can be set whether personal settings shall be overwritten by the default settings. By default, this is not the case.

When deleting $CADENAS_USER the configuration files are restored from $CADENAS_DEFAULTUSER after reboot.

Performing a context menu command in $CADENAS_DEFAULTUSER results in an action in $CADENAS_USER. The action will only take effect when saving and restarting the target application.

  1. Context menu commands on key level:

    Select a key line and call the context menu.

    • Overwrite never (default): Green background color

    • Overwrite always: Yellow background color

      The key value in $CADENAS_USER is overwritten at each restart of the application.
