Utilities - Settings

Some Background.

When the original prototype was far from easy to use. You had to literally edit the config file just to run a different program.

and for the longest time, that python-based config system remained... until now.

The new system

libvmconf is the new library that controls SBTCVM's new XML-based configuration system. like the old system, it also has a user-specific settings file, and a default settings file, but the key difference is the new system, copies this default configuration only when the user configuration is initalized, or reset.

Now, you don't need to know python, or XML for that matter, to edit the configuration...

settings.py

settings.py is SBTCVM's latest graphical utility. It provides a convenient way to change the configuration, without needing knowledge of what strange variable names mean, or how to set them.

This new settings system is one of many changes implemented for Mark 2 v2.0.2, and more changes are likely.
