Task List Showing- Individual computer control

Post by drtech » Fri Dec 21, 2007 6:22 am

I was thinking of adding an individual option on each computer to not show the task list even when the global option is on. That way if you have some computers you don't want it to show on for lack of screen space, (like 15'' & 17'' monitors) you can hide it, but then the rest can show with the global default. This option would store in the xml file on each computer.

The XML file is not an appropriate place for that setting. The only settings that are stored in the XML file are those which must be retrieved before we connect to the database. Instead, an option like this belongs in a column in the computerpref table in the database.

there are a few bugs in saving and loading the new settings, so I will fix them here soon.
