<sidebar>Sidebar: Adding Finishing Touches</sidebar> Flowcode helps you to manage different compiler settings efficiently by allowing you to save preset configurations and quickly switch between them using a dropdown menu. You can also import and export compiler settings across Flowcode installations.

Option list

This drop down menu shows all the currently saved compiler settings, clicking on any of these will load the options stored under that name.

<default> - this will load the default compiler settings

<current> - these are the currently unsaved compiler settings


To create a new set of compiler options, first input all the required data into the respective fields, then click inside the 'Options list' box and type a new name for your settings. To store the new settings under that name, click the save button. This will then save your new settings.


To delete a set of compiler options, select it from the drop down menu and then once it has loaded press the delete button. This will then remove those settings.


Importing and exporting compiler options

Flowcode now allows you to import and export your compiler options, allowing you to store your configurations or pass them to another Flowcode user.

When clicking on the export button the program will prompt you to save the currently loaded configuration settings to somewhere on your harddrive. Similarly on importing the program will prompt you to search for the desired '.fcs' file to use the settings as the current configuration.

Note: You may want to "save" the configuration after import as it will not store the settings in your current list.
