Usage

As with other VEEOS settings, the script configuration settings are stored in an RC file. As detailed in the bootstrap documentation there is a hierarchy of RC files. This function helps the user edit the RC file in their home directory by providing a simple file editor. All setting other than those needed for scripting are left as is.

The various sections of this dialog are explained below in the general order in which they should be used. Note that the location of the RC file being edited is indicated in the upper notes.

1. The affected engine is selected (InstalledPython is the default)
2. A text box is provided for the location of the executable needed for a given engine. This is initially populated with am estimated value. If this value is correct great, otherwise fill it in manually or use one of the assists. As a hint , the dialog provides the name of the executable for the chosen engine.
3. BROWSE brings up a standard file browser. Wander by wherever your engine is installed.
4. SEARCH attempts to find your engine and returns whatever paths it finds that may be correct.
5. Once you have the correct path indicated, choose ACCEPT PATH
6. CLEAR clears the text box and deletes any associated setting that you may have
7. Once everything looks good choose WRITE CHANGES AND EXIT. This writes the appropriate settings to your RC file.

Location

Example

Notes

This object never actually needs to be run since the RC file is plain text and can be edited using any plain text editor (notepad is recommended). However this does help with the RC file syntax and it is exercised automatically as needed by the script object.
