Reading Variables from an INI file

Unread post by Olivier Beltrami »

Would it be possible for H&M to read a list of user-defined text variables from a pre-set INI file ? (something similar to the way you read the "default" new topic from the file Template_Main.rtf). When automating builds, this would be useful so I can programmatically update variables such as build number etc ... without the need to remember to open H&M and do it manually.

That's a great idea -- I'd definitely use it if it were available. :o

On the to-do-list for version 3.2 meanwhile. V3.2 will be able to overload text variables from an INI file, to automate the build process even further.
