AutoCorrect Options > Replace text custom saved where?

[Alan]

Hi,
I want to be sure I am backing up my custom Replace text list. I have recently been adding a lot of entries because of a 750-page scan of a book with a poor font. Is that list saved in an accessible file or must I manually export it?

You can export the “replace with” pairs to a plain text file using the “Save to file…” button in the “Tools | AutoCorrect Options…” dialog. But just backing up the main configuration file of Atlantis – Atlantis.ini – is also a good option. If you open your Atlantis.ini file with a plain text editor, you can find the line starting with “RplcTxt=” under the “[Autocorrect\9]” (the English AutoCorrect) settings group. It lists all your custom “replace with” items in a readable form. Individual “replace with” pairs are separated with a double vertical bar “||”, and there is a tab character (ASCII 9) between the “replace what” and the “replacement” parts of each “replace with” pair. For example, if I have added the “replace aaa with bbb" and “replace ccc with ddd” items to the English AutoCorrect in Atlantis, the corresponding part of the INI file would look like this:

[Autocorrect\9]
RplcTxt=aaa<tab>bbb||ccc<tab>ddd

Note that the actual INI file does not contain <tab> but the ASCII 9 character.

You can always examine your INI file to make sure your AutoCorrect data is there.

If the “Safeguard every XX minutes (against system failure & crashes)” option is checked on the “Load/Save” tab of the “Tools | Options…” dialog, Atlantis automatically saves its current settings at the specified time interval. If automatic creation of backup files is enabled, Atlantis may also create backups of its configuration file, Atlantis.ini, on close. You can use them to revert to a recent Atlantis configuration.

Thank you admin,
It is good to know that my nightly backup automatically includes my Replace with entries.
