Suggestion to change how settings are stored.

Post by RMan »

The document info bar settings are not stored in a way that would make it easy for a network administrator to push out a setting

Currently they are stored as a keyname which can change.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\DocInfoBar\DisabledSpans
Keyname: t.000000
Value: docInfoBarSpan.BrokenFlags

But say you then turn off the Adobe Reader Protection Also it changes the Keyname for the docInfoBarSpan.BrokenFlags to t.000001
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\DocInfoBar\DisabledSpans
Keyname: t.000000
Value: docInfoBarSpan.UR3
Keyname: t.000001
Value: docInfoBarSpan.BrokenFlags

This makes it really hard for a network admin to push out a setting if they decide they want to make a change to the default way it works for the user. It would be much better to have it named as the value and I would have to think just as fast processing.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\DocInfoBar\DisabledSpans
Keyname: docInfoBarSpan.UR3
Value: 0 or 1
Keyname: docInfoBarSpan.BrokenFlags
Value: 0 or 1

Hello RMan,

We'll take this into the consideration, though it's not a guarantee that we'll change this.

Cheers,
Alex

New version (next build) of the Editor allows controlling Document Info Bar Panels visibility via GPO.
