Where is the YAAC configuration profile stored?
|
YAAC uses the Java Preferences library to store its configuration data. On Mac OS X, preferences are stored in the user's Library/Preferences/ directory, in an Apple binary properties file named org.ka2ddo.yaac.plist. All the profiles would be stored in this file.

I'm just curious, since I can't seem to find it. Where is the YAAC configuration profile stored? I understand that there is a "nameless" profile, and that we can create other profiles. But where is the base configuration for YAAC stored? Pascal AC7N |

Ah! Thank you, Andrew, for the good, clear answer that clears up the mystery for me.

I am in the process of trying several APRS related projects, mostly using my MacBook. I was moving and reinstalling programs, including YAAC. I couldn't figure out where it was storing and getting configuration info for which I couldn't find files. I'm not all that familiar with how Java does things, so I wasn't thinking in that direction.

Again, I appreciate your very courteous and helpful answers to my curiosity questions.

If you really need to transfer your configuration from one computer to another, YAAC does allow you to export the Preferences configuration data as an XML file, and partially read it back in. The reason for partial readback is that I didn't want people to use this config export and import to create dozens of identical duplicate stations that would damage the network (i.e., which is the _real_ AB3DE-2 station?), so station-identification-specific information is deliberately discarded on import and has to be manually entered. Similarly, platform hardware specific information is discarded on import (for example, a Microsoft Windows system would not have any /dev/ttyUSB0 ports like a Linux system would have, and similarly for COM5 ports on a Linux system) and has to be re-entered.
Hope this helps.

Thank you again, Andrew. Helpful info.

I'm not proliferating stations. I'm just trying different configurations on one or two local computers to determine what works and how to "package" the stuff I need for operation. Right now I am not running any critical service, just trying to learn the ins and outs to see what interests me.

I was drawn to YAAC because of the messaging and chat over APRS capabilities. I have a FTM-500 and a FTM-100 which both do built-in APRS, but the lack of a good interface to the messaging was frustrating. I had used YAAC a few years ago while living on the Big Island Hawaii, so I already had some inkling about it. But, I hadn't used it in several years. Now, I'm playing with it again.

Your help is much appreciated.
