• [Feature Request] Central definition of UserVar

  (I'm on a roll here, spamming the forum, sorry about that! )
  
  I use QAP on several machines and make extensive use of Shared Menus with UserVars.
  
  If I add a new Var or change an existing one, I have to manually add/change this on every machine.
  (I keep a separate file with all the Vars that I copy and paste when doing add/change)
  
  Not a big deal, but it would be very convenient if it was possible to make a central definition of the vars in a file (INI?) that all QAP-instances could read from.
  Something like the Shared Menu option..... Shared Variables?
  
  If that file also supported comments, it would be very helpful.
  
  Regards,
  joeNOR

  I knew I had posted something about UserVars somewhere, and found this one!
  
  Should you at some point in the future consider implementing this, I would like to suggest a couple of adjustments/changes.
  
  It would be very convenient to have "Global" and "Local" UserVars.
  
  Global vars:
  They could "live" in a separate INI-file that QAP reads much like a Shared Menu.
  Examples (for me) are vars substituting OS-vars and command line switches, like
  "{cmdrun}=%ComSpec%" and "{cmdopt}=/Q /T:1E /K"
  
  Local vars:
  They could "live" as they do now, in the main (local) INI-file of QAP.
  
  
  If there is a conflict, that is, two vars with the same name, Local vars should override the Global ones.
  (make it possible to do local adjustments if necessary without changing the global definition).
  
  ...just my two cent!
  
  Regards,
  joeNOR
  PS! I have ca 50 UserVars, and about half of them are "global" ones.

  This is why I would call them "Shared user variables". Added to the wishlist:
