These scripts must be located in the root directory of each operator (...\Application Data\Win-Test\ops\dl8aau\ for example). Such a script could be used to set specific operator preferences each time they log in (e.g. wtApp:TextCommand("ESM");).<div>

I have a delicate configuration problem...<br>
<br>
Maybe first let me explain what I want: I have several identical PCs and<br>
all should run the same OS image. They are in fact used on different<br>
bands and therefore require slightly different settings. This is easy<br>
for stuff that can be changed in the ini file - I'm using a different<br>
one per band. Each "band"/"function" has its own user. So theoretically<br>
you should just login with the matching user name, launch win-test<br>
through a lnk file that has the right .ini file in it and everything<br>
should be setup correctly.<br>
(So if one PC breaks during the contest, you just grab the spare one,<br>
use the right login and everything is fine)<br>
<br>
Only exception: there seems to be no way to have different ops<br>
directories. It is always in<br>
%programdata%\win-test\ops\<callsign>\<contestid><br>
(found the contestid here <a href="http://download.win-test.com/v4/lua/constants.wts" target="_blank">http://download.win-test.com/v4/lua/constants.wts</a>)<br>
<br>
Unfortunately there seems to be no way to move this directory somewhere<br>
else - especially not into the user depend part of the file system like<br>
%appdata%.<br>
<br>
Why would I want to do this? In ops the wav file for CQ calling is<br>
stored and you may need different "kind" of calls<br>
(short/long/English/German... depending on band and time. We cannot<br>
record from Win-test (the headset microphone is connected directly to<br>
the transceiver), so usually the wav files are prepared before.<br>

most details, but not if the ops directory could be moved.<br>
<br>
I could of course stop using "operators" as intended (we usually don't<br>
use logon/logoff) and "abuse" them, so would have an operator "144",<br>
"432" etc.<br>
That seems to work, but I would prefer a solution where I do not have to<br>
cripple the "operator" feature...<br>
