## Properties (user specific)

### The property file, valid for one user

This property file is called "`.nc.properties`" and it is stored in your homedirectory in the subfolder called "`.NumericalChameleon`". The path is dependent on your operating system and it is dependent on your administrator. Maybe, it is useful to edit this file or even delete it, if you detect problems during the start. You can add user specific entries for the dialog box called "Set format for notice" (format_<n>). You should exit the NC before you do changes to this property file.

Example:

> `#/* properties updated */` `#Sat May 10 16:56:56 CEST 2003` `country=DE` `help=de` `language=de` `iso3166=de` `width=797` `heigth=608` `locationY=368` `locationX=52` `lnf=kunststoff` `theme=Blue.theme` `view=0` `fontsize=12` `notice_form=$SVALUE [$SUNIT] \= $TVALUE [$TUNIT]` `exitAnimation=false` `decoration=native` `props.version=2` `format_0=$SVALUE\t$TVALUE` `format_1=$SUNIT -> $TVALUE ($TUNIT)`
