Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Other Questions

Database location
Can you add to the Wish List:

Configuration setting to specify where database files live

In particular, I use a mapped-letter network drive for all of my files that live on a server and get backed-up regularly. The workstation (upon which CSDS is actually installed) doesn't get backed-up at all.

Right now, I have to remember to manually copy the databases (such as sequences) to the network drive so they get backed up, but often I forget.

All my other programs I simply configure to point them at a network-drive folder for creating "user-modified" files. The installation/executable files don't need to occupy space on the backups, since they can be re-installed in the event of a crash.

But, the user-created/modified files DO need to be backed-up, and allowing the user to specify the location for database files greatly simplifies this task in typical workstation/corporate environments.

Obviously not a high priority, but it'd be useful.

If you use a shortcut to execute CSDS, edit the the shortcut properties to change the 'Target' field to be 'C:\SQDATA\csds.exe DIR=<folder>' where '<folder>' is the pathname of the CSDS data files (normally C:\SQDATA). Otherwise, CSDS defaults the database location to be the folder in which the CSDS executable (csds.exe) resides.
