No reason DTN couldn't be smart enough to read some easy to maintain text files rather that messing with registry garbage.

I will update when I hear back from our product management group. Kind regards, Sarah Sexton Edited by DTN_SarahS on Jul 22, 2008 at 08:43 AM
AMA -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 183 Joined: Aug 1, 2007	Posted: Sep 4, 2008 11:04 PM Msg. 3 of 4 Well, part way there on this - I managed to port over the registry configs for charts, T&S and Options chains, along with some .wat(watchlists) to a computer with a newer, unconfigured DTN on it, with no problems. Had to know where in the registry this stuff is, which wasn't a problem for me, but would hose up many users. I renamed the existing registry areas on the new 'puter, then imported the various registry chunks, and it all worked fine. So, I'm certainly more portable now, but ultimately, some sort of text based, readable, non-registry config files would be an item for future releases.

In this software, there are workbook files (single files) that contain the settings for your charts, quote sheets, symbol lists, templates, etc. In addition, each of these settings are saved so your screen will come up each day in the exact same configuration as previously. That being said, each update to the DTN.IQ software has at least allowed us to clean up the registry settings a bit which may make it easier to create an import/export function for user settings. we will see if we can get something in a future build. In the mean time, I recommend taking a look at ProphetX if you haven't already. Our Sales group can setup a free trial for you, and you can run them side by side on your PC.
