Hi,
I am in the process of migrating from my USTART.VDM to an adaptation of Pauli's PRESET.VDM. I have reported on my efforts in the Installation, Configuration Conference. Specifically, at webboard.vedit.com/read?6732.31
At present I did hit a snag. Specifically, the User Auto macro that I presented there does not restore my original {USER} and {TOOL} menus if I start a new instance of Vedit.
So, I thought to experiment with these parameters. Therefore, it is very useful for me to have written records of these parameter experiments. Appending the report to the old file is one way to keep track of my experimental parameters. It has the advantage that there is only one file and I can use Vedit to search it.
Oops, I just thought of another option: If my experiments did not go anywhere, then I would like to have the option of not reporting at all. In short automating these parameter experiments and managing the resulting data base are two contradictory requirements. I just do not know what is the optimal solution.
I vaguely remember that Pauli mentioned that he does not wish to type in a file name. I agree with him. I wish to use Dashboard as an aid to automate my experiments with the parameters of my User Auto macro. So, most of the time I just would like to press the key. however, if I am lucky and come with a good result, I would like to have the option of saving that file under a specific name.
I also would like to mention that I modeled this on my Seatools program, which is a Seagate diagnostic program.
Last time my Harddisk failed to respond, I used Seatools and learned that my Harddisk parameters did not change. So, I concluded that I have a software issue. Sure enough, reinstalling Windows did solve my problem.
PS: I am fascinated by the ongoing discussion of Vedit 6.21.1. Since I am not a programmer, most of it is above my head. However, I have a hunch that there are many special cases that I could use. So, recently, I have not done any experiments with my User Auto macro.
Thanks for everything.
