  • Numbers and lists: black

  • Boolean: green

The two files that appear in this snapshot are qcobjExample.cfg and qcobjExampleTemplate.cfg in the examples directory of the package.

Tooltips showing the valid quantities and range for every keyword appear when hoovering on a value.

2. A real example

This tool has been developed to compare large (more than one thousand lines) configuration files like fast14.cfg against fast19.cfg

All values displayed can be modified and their value is validated against the configspec file that must be set when running the application.

Modified configuration files can be saved using the File option in the application toolbar.
