subtree: rc

node name type flags description
file_changed_interval rnd_cfn_real 0 how often to check if the file has changed on the disk (in seconds); 0 or negative means no check at all
backup_interval rnd_cfn_integer 0 time between two backups in seconds; 0 means disabled (no backups)
brave rnd_cfn_string 0 brave mode flags: when non-empty, enable various experimental (unstable) features - useful for testers
font_command rnd_cfn_string 0 file name template; if not empty, run this command and read its output for loading the font; %f is the file name
file_command rnd_cfn_string 0 file name template; if not empty, run this command and read its output for loading a pcb file; %f is the file name, %p is the conf setting rc.file_path
file_path rnd_cfn_string 0
library_shell rnd_cfn_string 0
library_search_paths rnd_cfn_list 0
emergency_name rnd_cfn_string 0 file name template for emergency save anonymous .pcb files (when pcb-rnd crashes); optional field: %ld --> pid; must be shorter than 240 characters. Don't do emergency save if this item is empty.
emergency_format rnd_cfn_string 0 if set, use this format for the backups; if unset, use the default format
backup_name rnd_cfn_string 0 file name template for periodic backup of board files; optional fields (the usual % substitutions work)
backup_format rnd_cfn_string 0 if set, use this format for the backups; if unset or set to 'original', use the original format
save_command rnd_cfn_string 0 command to pipe the pcb, footprint or buffer file into, when saving (makes lihata persist impossible)
keep_save_backups rnd_cfn_boolean 0 a copy is made before a save operation overwrites an existing file; if this setting is true, keep the copy even after a successful save
default_font_file rnd_cfn_list 0 name of default font file (list of names to search)
default_pcb_file rnd_cfn_list 0
silently_create_on_load rnd_cfn_boolean 0 do not generate an error message if the board does not exist on load from command line argument, silently create it in memory
script_filename rnd_cfn_string 0 PCB Actions script to execute on startup
action_string rnd_cfn_string 0 PCB Actions string to execute on startup
rat_path rnd_cfn_string 0
rat_command rnd_cfn_string 0 file name template; if not empty, run this command and read its output for loading a rats; %f is the file name, %p is the rc.rat_path conf setting
save_final_fallback_fmt rnd_cfn_string 0 when a new file is created (by running pcb-rnd with the file name) there won't be a known format; pcb-rnd will guess from the file name (extension) but eventhat may fail. This format is the final fallback that'll be used if no other guessing mechanism worked. The user can override this by save as.
save_fp_fmt rnd_cfn_string 0 when saving a buffer element/subcircuit, prefer this format by default
web_browser rnd_cfn_string 0 command line to a web browser (useful for accessing external resources, e.g. order pcb web services)
