When Ivent is started, some configuration settings are read from a file called "app.ini" which you can find in the same folder as Ivent is innstalled in (normally in C:\Program\Ivent\). This file stores settings made in Ivent from the Settings-menu. After making changes in the settings-menu, you must restart Ivent in order for changes to take effect. You can also edit app.ini manually, and the DatabasePath-parameter can actually only be changed this way.
The settings menu is populated from the content of the app.ini file so '''if you have run earlier version of Ivent before you should remove the old app.ini file and replace it with one of the following''':
