To change the name of an INI file within the PackDesigner Visual Designer mode:

 

1.Users have to browse the packaging projects directory tree, select the parent folder, and load the list of INI files inside that folder to the directory content display area. From the list of INI files:
 

•Left-click a file name and hit F2 on the keyboard

•Double-click on a file name

•Right-click a file name and select Rename from the context menu
 

2.Either way, the file name is set into direct inline edit mode. Simply type the new file name to replace the existing one.
 

3.To exit the direct inline edit mode without changing the prior INI file name, hit Escape on the keyboard.
To save the new file name, hit Enter.

 

Since packaging projects are highly standardized data records, many objects have to follow specific naming conventions to be valid. Please make sure to follow the naming conventions for INI files when a file is renamed:
 

•INI file names must be unique within the same parent directory

•INI file names must not be empty

•INI file names may consist of alphanumerical strings

•INI file names are stored in a database column of the FileName type. Please refer to the MSI standard documentation to get additional information regarding the restrictions of short and long file name notations which are applicable to this data type.

•RayPack automatically adds new INI files with the file extension .ini. However, it is possible to apply any extension required, e. g. .conf, .cfg, or .txt.
