Re: Setting config.txt directives in command line is now supported natively in vDos-lfn



These features are enabled for the latest build (build 2016.07.24) of both the 2015.11.01 branch and the 2016.06.01 branch of vDos-lfn. The latest Zip packages are downloadable from the usual places:

Hi all,

Recently Carl had made a vDosSet tool which made it possible to set config.txt directives from the command line. However, it is not a native solution and thus requires swapping (backup & restore) the main configuration file (config.txt). Thus, I decided to integrate this feature to vDos-lfn directly, and since this is a native solution there is no need to do file swappings any more. The usage as mentioned in the README.TXT is as follows:

While these directives are generally set in config.txt, with vDos-lfn they can be set in the vDos-lfn command line too. When they are set both in config.txt and in the command line, those set in the command line will take precedence. For example, "vDos-lfn /set frame=on" will turn on the vDos-lfn window frame regardless the setting in config.txt. When some directives are set in config.txt, the user can also "unset" them in the command line. For example, "vDos-lfn /set font=" will force to use the default font for vDos-lfn. To set multiple directives in the command line, the directives can be separated by the semi-colons (;). For example, "vDos-lfn /set keydelay=400;keyinter=20" will set both the KEYDELAY=400 and the KEYINTER=20 directives. This feature is not present in the original vDos.

Hope this new feature will be useful.
