I suggest that a definitive guide is created that explains the interaction
of the files Eagle.scr Eaglerc.usr Eagle.epf
Less uniformed discussion and support requests will result if this
information is publicised in an easy to understand essay.
Spread throughout the HELP and manual is some of the information but it has
not been brought together into one place.
Much of the information needed is implied but not explained.
Needed, in one place:
Explanations of precedence, the order in which these files influence the
editors and each other.
The impact of these interactions e.g changes in Eagle.scr not being
effective because of settings remaining in Eaglerc.usr
Discussion on multiple Eagle.scr and guidance for determining which
Eagle.scr is in use
Locations of the respective files including the effect of environment
variables.
Situations where the hard coded defaults are used.
It should include discussion in the context of:
-Project
-Non project
-User (or one of many)
The guide should address issues that may arise from networked environments
and multiple users
The guide should be initially created as a separate downloadable document.
Released via "announce" and feedback given via "Beta" forums.
After a few iterations it can be included in the manual.
