03. Application Settings

Product: MioFactory


 
The first thing to do after creating an application is to set the settings.


Application Settings
Application Settings


Settings are used to write in the registry database, install file on the hard disk, update the application, etc.
It is important to choose the good values as the settings are generally used to distinguish your application from the other ones installed on the local computer.
 

Properties

 
Application ID

The Application ID must be unique as it is used to read and write values in the registry database.
You should use a string of 10 characters or more, with no space (_ is to be used instead of the space).

To retrieve the application ID from your JavaScript or MioScript code, uses the string {APP_ID}.

Application Name

The application name is important as it is used as the title of the shortcuts, the default name of the install folder, the title of the windows, etc. You should use a string that identify clearly your application.

To retrieve the application name from your JavaScript or MioScript code, use the string {APP_NAME}.

Version

The version number make it possible to detect if an update of your application is available.
The build number is increased automatically each time the application is published.

To retrieve the version number from your JavaScript or MioScript code, use the string {APP_VERSION}.
To retrieve the build number from your JavaScript or MioScript code, uses the string {APP_BUILD}.
 

Author / Owner

 

This information is visible in the installer of your application, and can be used in the about dialog box.
The Owner Web Site is also used in the windows uninstall dialog box, from where the user can uninstall your application.
 

Log File

 
You can set from here when the log file is to be created.
The log file is very useful when it's time to track bugs.

Important: You should never disable the log when running the application from MioFactory, as when the log is disabled, errors are not visible and you will not be able to detect them.
