Configuration Files

SkatingApp uses configuration files for storing application and user settings. This part of the documentation explains where the files are stored and what information is inside of them.

Configuration Files Location

SkatingApp stores persistent files in your Windows roaming AppData folder. Open Windows Run with Windows key + R, enter %APPDATA%\SkatingApp, and select OK. Open Config Folder

This folder is shared by SkatingApp, SkatingApp Scoreboard, and SkatingApp PhotoFinish. Back up the complete folder before migrating, uninstalling, or restoring an installation. Do not move these files into a VeloPack installation or its current directory.

Configuration Files Contents

The following is a list of files and short description on their contents of the files that can be found in the SkatingApp configuration folder.

license.lic

Contains the license key for your edition of SkatingApp. If you remove this file, SkatingApp prompts for the license again at the next startup.

Template And Template\Images

The Template folder contains customized default print templates. Template\Images contains shared images used by those templates. Event folders may also contain event-specific Template and Template\Images folders. For more information, see SkatingApp Printing.

SkatingApp.config

Contains the SkatingApp settings in JSON format, including database and application preferences. Close SkatingApp before backing up, restoring, or editing this file.

SkatingScoreboard.config

Contains the SkatingApp Scoreboard settings in JSON format. Close Scoreboard before backing up, restoring, or editing this file.

Log Files

The applications write diagnostic logs in the same folder. Current logs include SkatingApp.log, Scoreboard.log, and PhotoFinish.log; dated rolled files may also be present. Include the relevant .log files when reporting a problem, but review them for sensitive event or system information before sharing them.
