LTspice XVII INI File?

Facing the realities that I'm going to have to deal with LTspice, I've
decided to become the expert ;-)

Noting that the INI file contains:

SymbolSearchPath=
LibrarySearchPath=

Does anyone know if these fields can have multiple
entries/directories, perhaps separated by ";", as in PSpice?

This would be a handy feature and would somewhat obviate the current
restriction of schematic and symbols in same directory.

If they are using Dot Net then yes, path seperators are supported in
the Path class.
I guess it would be easy to try it out.

Yes, indeedy-do, follows PSpice convention:

SymbolSearchPath=
LibrarySearchPath=C:\Directory_1;C:\Directory_2

INI File is located at:

<C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\LTspiceXVII.ini>

Solves a lot of pain that version IV imposed.

(Can also be entered via Tools/Control Panel/Sym & Lib Search Paths.)

It's what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.

Yep, I just did get around to trying it... works just great!
