I added new .ini file into Types palette. When I am exiting from Teststand it asks me to save modified ini-files. How can I see what changes are made to this ini file? Now I see only *mark before my ini-file in Types palette but can't see what are the changes.

I use TS 4.0 and TS 4.2.1. TS 4.0 does not have such exe and TS4.2.1 can compare only sequences not ini-files?

Hi ,
Please try this link
NI TestStand Toolkit for Large Application Development
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-4070
I don't know if it is working with .ini files - just try

You can also change the format of the file using the station options, file options dialog to xml, which should be a bit more diffable in text based differ.

If I add my own ini-file to Types palette *mark appears after the name. When I close TS it asks me to save it althougt I have not done any changes. Why?

Hi Jick,
I think you have enabled the automatic Type Conflict Resolution on your maschine.
Configure->StationOptions->File->Allow Automatic Ty...... -> Set to "Never"
After restarting TS again and adding your type-file a conflict-message should appear.
Read the conflict's reason.
Hope this helps

It's either because of type conflict resolution (i.e. newer versions of types are already in memory that are contained in your file), or it could be because your file is from an earlier version of teststand and thus required conversions in order to bring it up to date. There is a setting in newer versions of teststand to customize the "marking as modified" behavior. In the Station Options->File tab, there is a setting, "Do Not Mark Files as Modified if Modification is Caused Only by Automatic TestStand Version Upgrade", which you might be interested in using.
Hope this helps,
