profile.ini and paths.properties

_c_

Hello,

I am trying to set up shared resources in the office, thing I seem to stubbornly fail at. Somehow the paths are never recognized. Not one of them (and profile.ini is OK)

It could be many things, but certainly there are a few mistakes in the example path structure from the paths.properties file. Someone might want to fix it to make it work out of the box, see screenshot:

The paths file needs localization.

I have Solibri 9.12.7 installed in German, the example file paths.properties is in English. In order to make it work, the singular default folder names must be translated matching what is installed in the Application folder.

I am now testing a path different than Public at home on OneDrive, files locally stored (I don’t think that it is relevant in this case, but just in case).

Most paths work after translating them, some don’t. What else could be wrong?

This path works on Save but not on Open:
#Open and save .classification
classification_directory = C:\Users\xx\OneDrive\Solibri\Solibri Shared Resources\Klassifizierungen

This always works:
#Import and export .xls classification rules and default classification names
classification_settings_directory = C:\Users\xx\OneDrive\Solibri\Solibri Shared Resources\Klassifizierungen\Daten

_c_

This path never works:

#Open .xls checking templates
checking_template_directory = C:\Users\xx\OneDrive\Solibri\Solibri Shared Resources\Berichtsvorlagen\Zusammenfassung

_c_

This also never works, the excel files are never found:

#Open .xls templates for ito
ito_template_directory = C:\Users\xx\OneDrive\Solibri\Solibri Shared Resources\Auswertung\Vorlagen

_c_

The way this could optimally work, is that there would be no need to translate.
There are problems in the language management of Rules and more. The problems amplify across Anywhere<>Office users.

In international offices working on projects across multiple language areas, it is difficult to run Solibri optimally. We are now thinking to have Solibri installed both in English and German, with two office shared resources.

The default paths could also be defined relatively -is this coming in the new Solibri? That would be so good.

BUMP!!!

Hallo, now is end of 2024 and the issues are still there.
Please fix this as it is a nightmare to use common resources in an office without a proper file path system.

@_c_ Have you considered creating language-specific roles that point to the correct paths? The roles could all be in one folder with proper names, like English/Deutsch.

Hallo, yes, I did. But as described above, not all paths work. If you have more documentation as otherwise available that would be good. Something is clearly missing.
