web-based INI files

Status: New

I often find myself switching between different machines and different versions of LabVIEW and one thing always bugs me.  Sometimes I have to work on a customer's machine with their (almost always) awful settings.  The settings for the development environment are always different to what I want no matter what I do.  It's a pain to have to keep all up to date.

 

While I know others have suggested moving the ini file to the user folder or allowing us to choose the ini file, I would like to go a step further and allow us to enter a web URL to access our ini files.  This way I can work effeciently on anyone's development computer with minimal effort and we can even share our settings if we want to.  We could have community INI files for others to use.

Linking to your NI profile has been thrown around internally for a while, just hasn't gotten much traction. I'd love to see this happen, so get the Kudo count up people!

I would like to see my Environment Settings saved on NI's site.  When I am working on a customers machine I can log in and the settings are 

loaded from NI's site.
