Config files

#1 Post by dduley » 28 Apr 2016, 06:03

Hi All,

When I save a configuration file I get a .TXT file but when I open it with a text editor it seems to be giberish and acts like a binary file. Is this correct? Is the format of this file documented other than sorting through the source?

Just curious

Thanks

Dave

It seems that if the config file is gonna have a .TXT suffix then it ought to be a text file. If you want it in binary then call it a .CFG or something. The ,TXT sets up a certain amount of expectation.

Thanks
