Library Manager Customization Using the .cdsenv File

You can use the .cdsenv file in the Library Manager as well as in Virtuoso to customize the values and settings on various forms and fields. In addition, some of the settings previously stored in the .libmgr file are now saved in the .cdsenv file instead.

Library manager obtains form settings from the .cdsenv file only and not from the .cdsinit file.

The Library Manager saves only the settings that it reads from the .libmgr file: the screen location and size of the Library Manager.

You can choose File – Save Defaults to save settings in the .cdsenv file.

.cdsenv File Search Path Order

The Library Manager searches for the .cdsenv file in the following locations, in the specified order:

• install_dir/tools/dfII/etc/tools/cdsLibManager (This file contains the default settings.)
• install_dir/tools/dfII/local
• $HOME
• $CWD

Virtuoso does not look for the .cdsenv file in the current directory by default, although the Library Manager does.
