Specific setup

You use specific setup to configure an environment for you or your team. By changing GSTSETUPDIR, you can switch between multiple specific setup configurations.

A specific setup applies to the current user and uses a specific GST setup directory. When you use a specific setup, it overrides the global setup.

The GSTSETUPDIR environment variable defines the GST setup directory. It is typically set within a Genero configuration. If GSTSETUPDIR is not set, the specific setup options are disabled.

You can customize the following for a specific setup:

• File associations
• Build. link, and execution rules
• The New dialog
• Custom diagram entries and properties
• Additional properties for project definitions

To quickly identify the setup directory for your current GST configuration, select Tools > Specific setup > Locate setup directory. The directory defined by GSTSETUPDIR is highlighted in the File Browser (the Files view).
