ChartingThemes.xml File Created in Workspace Folder

Postby eegroup » 28 Nov 2015

After installing the new MC 9.1 Release 2 (Build 12010) x64, whenever I save workspaces to a folder when I close down MC, a file entitled "ChartingThemes.xml" gets inserted in the folder where the workspaces are saved to.

What is the ChartingThemes.xml file?
Why does it get created?
What is its purpose, what is it used for?
Can it be deleted without causing any issues?

Thank you!

Hello eegroup,

ChartingThemes.xml is utilized for this new feature:
Chart context menu now has a new option “Color Theme” with three prebuilt schemes: Black, Grey, White.
It should not be saved into every folder with a workspace, we will have that fixed in one of the next versions.
This is safe to remove this file. You need to keep it only in the MultiCharts installation folder.

Thanks Henry. That would make more sense, having it saved to the MultiCharts installation folder.

I appreciate the explanation and the impending fix.

Thank you!
