# PSFF.INI File Entries

The PSFF.INI configuration settings file is located in the same folder as the application file, PSFF.EXE, typically in the "[Program Files (x86)]\Flite\FluidFlow3" folder. To edit this file requires 'Administrator' privileges in Windows.
Entry | Default | Description
AlwaysCreateBackupFolder |  | Defaults to blank. If specified a copy of every file saved (with the username added) is stored here.
AlwaysReloadFDBData | 0 | When true/on (1) certain equipment DATA - Fluids list and Pipe Roughness/Insulation/Scaling/Dimension data - is reloaded each time a dialog requiring it is displayed. When false/off (0), this data is only reloaded when it is changed.
CheckForUpdate | 0 | When true (1) the application checks for a new version when it starts up.
DataFolder | [Public Documents]\Flite\FluidFlow3\Data | Default location for where the application will store the equipment and fluid data files. (Users can specify a different location using the 'Database | Connections...' menu item.)
DataFolderMonitorInterval | 60 | The number of seconds the application should check the DataFolder for any changes in the network version. Defaults to 60, i.e., every minute.
DisableCheckForUpdates | 0 | Control the visibility of the 'Help | Check for Updates...' menu item. Defaults to 0 (False), i.e., this menu item will be displayed.
Language | ENGLISH | Default language to use on startup (for the Network logon dialog). This will be overridden by the language previously selected by a user when they log in.
MinPasswordLength | 0 | Minimum required length of Network User password. If 0, or missing, then no limit.
NetworkAccessFolder | [Public Documents]\Flite\FluidFlow3 | Location of the license file (and list of users in a network installation.)
OpenSaveFolder |  | Folder for File Open and File Save for FF3 files. Defaults to blank, so will use the last used folder.
PreferencesFolder | [Public Documents]\Flite\FluidFlow3\Preferences | Default location for where the application will store the user settings.
ReleaseLicenseIdleTime | 0 | To avoid users "hogging" modules in a license, by leaving FluidFlow3 running and staying logged in when not using the application, you can add a ReleaseLicenseIdleTime entry to the Options section of the PSFF.INI configuration settings file, for example, [Options] ReleaseLicenseIdleTime=180 This is the number of minutes of application idle time before modules are released in your license. If not set, or 0, then this value is ignored.
SupportEMailAddress | support@www.fluidflowinfo.com.hs-inbox.com | This is the email address any support (or bug reports) emails get sent to from within the application.
UseBrowserHTMLHelp | 0 | When true (1) FluidFlow will look for a html-based version of the help system when F1 is selected. See here for more information.
UseDataTempFolder | 0 | When true/on (1) FluidFlow will use a TEMP folder located within the DATA folder for any temporary file needs. Otherwise, the default Windows TEMP folder is used.
UseNamedUserLicense | 0 | This is used to toggle the display of the Login Named User dialog on startup, if set to 1 (true). This dialog would only be relevant if you want to use the Named Licensing. For Standalone and Network installations, it's recommended to set this to 0.
UseUsersINI | 0 | Relevant only to the Network installation, when set to 1 (true), the Network Login dialog will load the users list from an FF3USERS.INI (text) file instead of the (binary) FF3USERS.DB file.
