ini file is always marked as modified

[mitulatbati]

Hi all,

I created some step types in TS 3.5. when I open TS sequence editor, the ini file where the step types are defined is marked with a star - seems to be modified. But I didn´t touch it. By exiting the Editor, I click SAVE CHECKED FILES. After that I reopen the sequence editor, and the ini file appears immediately as modified.

What do I do wrong?

Thanks in advance

Howdy mit,

So when working with types I really recommend reading this paper here: [broken link removed]

This discusses types in detail and unfolds the mysteries. 

Is this similar to your issue?:

Let me know if this is at all helpful.

The Developer Zone Tutorial that Jigg mentioned has been replaced by an architectural document on types' best practices. Check out the NI TestStand Advanced Architecture Series, and the NI TestStand Type Management Best Practices.

Enjoy!
