FAQ/ Dataset file path

Where is the path of the dataset file dataset.ini used by DioVISTA?

response

Open the following XML file in Notepad.

%LocalAppData%\Hitachi\DioVISTA\DioVISTA.xml

Note

%LocalAppData% is an environment variable. If you paste it into the address bar of Explorer, it will automatically replace C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local, etc.

For example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <settings>
        <dataset>d:\mapdata\dataset.ini</dataset>
        <databasePath>d:\mapdata\GISS.db</databasePath>
        <std.measureDistanceLineStyle>0,3,0,0,255,255</std.measureDistanceLineStyle>
        <std.measureAreaLineStyle>0,3,0,0,255,255</std.measureAreaLineStyle>
        <std.initialAddress></std.initialAddress>
        <std.onlineMap>0</std.onlineMap>
        <std.userCopyright></std.userCopyright>
        <std.legendFontSize>10.5</std.legendFontSize>
        <UILanguage>
        </UILanguage>
    </settings>
    ...
</configuration>

The fourth line of this file contains the path to the dataset.ini file.

4
        <dataset>d:\mapdata\dataset.ini</dataset>

In this case, the path of the dataset file is d:\mapdata\dataset.ini.

If you want to refer to this data in PowerShell:

1
$dataset = Get-Item ([xml](cat $env:LocalAppData\Hitachi\DioVISTA\DioVISTA.xml)).configuration.settings.dataset
