I just installed the 20120322 update and was reminded of the existing settings dialog. At first run, the updated application warns us there are some existing / updated settings files conflicts. The user is presented with the option to use skip the template file. There are often so many files affected and the prompt is offered for each file individually. I suspect any typical user starts out looking at the files and making a decision then just chooses to use all template files.
Perhaps a tree view of all affected settings files can be displayed with the top level being either by application, i.e. Civil, Survey, GIS, Hydro, Mining, etc. or type, i.e. Menu, Symbol, Linetype def, etc. Or at the least a list control with scroll bars that can be sorted by heading.
That being said, this is a minor issue since the backup is there to review afterwards.
The purpose of this forum is to create the communication channel between developers of Carlson with IntelliCAD engine and the end-users.
