Admin rights for config.ini

[Geoffrey Wyatt]

Hi all, 

I am trying to change the constellation line colour and have found it in the default_cfg.ini file. I've edited it in Notepad but I can't save it as it states I need admin rights.

I do have admin rights so am a little confused. Any suggestions please?

Regards

Geoff

You never edit default_cfg.ini or any other file in the program directory where admin permissions are required for a reason ("change only if explicitly instructed to do so"!). Chapter 5 in the User Guide tells you where your private files are. Much simpler is using the program's exisiting GUI, though. User Guide, section 4.4.4, has the most comprehensive textual description.

Please ignore as I’m stupid. The config.ini file was simply hidden on my new computer.

All fixed.

Cheerio
