Is there any way to change the configuration on the fly?

[Bracket]

The switchable environments of UltraEdit 14.00a aren't that useful to me - I don't really have much need to change the toolbar and pane layout of UE.

What I *do* need is the ability to change some of the configuration settings on the fly, which the environment switcher doesn't process, as far as I understand. Therefore, is there any other way I can accomplish this - such as a script, perhaps?

What you can do is calling UE with the /i option for a specific uedit.ini (and therefor specific settings).
See online help "command parameters"

I suppose that's an option. It's a somewhat cumbersome solution because it can't be done on the fly, but requires UE to be restarted.

I also would prefer a way to only change the settings I need toggled. Otherwise, any other changes I make to UE will get lost, unless I save them *twice*.

A restart must be done, yes. No other option.

If your uedit32 doesn't change often you can create a template ini with placeholders and then do a replace (by a pre-process regexp-replace in a bat file or so), save the ini as uedit1.ini or uedit2.ini and then call UE with ini1 or 2.
But I see too, not VERY handy too ...
Disadvantage: UE updates might write new ini entries, some other changes (last files) get lost from session to session.

What about a script that does a search and replace of the Uedit.ini file itself? Is that something that would work?

[Bego]

Sure. If you change it before, you do not need the /i parameter, since you edit the ONE ini file before calling UE normally.
