Application Specific INI File Options


This page describes how to add various parameters to the ENLIGHTEN.INI file (located in your %APPDATA%\CAST\CAST\<Version_Number> directory after installing CAST Products). These parameters add supplementary features to the application.

Never View Folders Option

In certain circumstances, the Initial Scope Selection dialog box may take some time to load (particularly if you have a large number of objects in your Knowledge Base).

Using this option, you can force the application NOT to search for any sub-folders (yellow folder icon), thus reducing the amount of time needed to establish what icons actually need to be displayed:

[Options]NeverViewFolder=1

Hide Permissions tab in Object Editors

When working with a very large Knowledge Base or one which contains a large number of shared objects (identical objects present in various different jobs/analyses) then you can use this option to help optimize performance:
[Optimizer]Auto=1

Where 1 turns the option on. In essence, using this option slows down the connection to the Knowledge Base and increases the speed at which the viewer module functions.

An example of best practices for this option would be to switch it on the first time you launch the application following an analysis or re-analysis of existing objects, then to switch it off for subsequent launches until you decide to carry out another analysis.
