There are a few advanced settings that you can set in the ini file (in Ballistic's application directory). To use them you will have to restart Ballistic. All settings are under the [settings] section header. Many of these settings won't already exist in the ini file, so if you need to change them, you will have to add them if they aren't there.
[settings]
listdir=[application_directory]\lists
extensions=*.txt
wildcards=*?
doublewild=~
listdir is the full path to the directory where you keep your lists. You should probably leave listdir as the default in case we update the lists that come with Ballistic, but you can change it if you really want to.
If you want a second mylistdirectory and set the path. When you add list files to this directory, it will appear just below the regular .
, then add another ini key called
The
will only appear if the actual directory exists, by the way.
Examples:
listdir=c:\program files (x86)\ballistic\lists
mylistdirectory=c:\somefolder\my lists
extensions is the file filter used by Ballistic's file-browsing dialogues (you know the dialogues for and ). You can change them or add more. Separate extensions by a semicolon ; If you specify more than one extension, the first extension will be used to save files (when you anything).
Examples:
extensions=*.txt
extensions=*.txt;*.list
extensions=*.txt;*.* ;This will show all files, and will save as txt files
wildcards are any character you want to use as a wildcard. You can specify any character you want and as many as you like, but if you use any characters which are alphanumerics (abc's and 123's) you will have troubles and most likely cause a nuclear meltdown.
doublewild can only be a single character (you can't have multiple choices here).
You really shouldn't change these settings unless you have a real need to do so. It could conceivably break things.
Examples:
wildcards=*?
wildcards=+$
wildcards=@$!# ;Ha ha!
doublewild=_
