Menu Bar

Catalyst Configuration Manager Menu Bar provides access to key functions related to creating, editing, and testing Catalyst projects.

[]{#_The_Projects_Node .anchor}To aid in configuration testing and tuning, Catalyst Configuration Manager allows project developers to automatically apply project file pointers directly in the system registry and start or restart Browsium Controller to process the new configuration. This is performed via Start Test Configuration from the File menu, which writes the file pointer to the LoadFromFileName registry value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\(Wow6432Node)\Browsium\Catalyst before starting or restarting Browsium Controller.

This option reduces delays and overhead of manually editing the registry or deploying registry changes via Group Policy. Open Test Configuration opens the project file found in LoadFromFileName (if Start Test Configuration had been run prior). Clear Test Configuration clears LoadFromFileName in the registry and stops Browsium Controller.

Start Test Configuration automatically saves the current project before writing the LoadFromFileName registry value and restarting the Controller. If the project has not been saved prior, you will be prompted to save the file to a new location before continuing.

The Edit menu provides Cut, Copy, and Paste functions to assist in project editing and moving rules between projects. These functions are also available in the Actions pane for the Rules Manager for easy access. The Edit menu also has a Find function (available from the menu or via
Control-F) which searches for specific strings inside the project.

The Find function will search all text in the Project Node, excluding the Project Node itself, starting with the current location of the cursor, and continue looping through the project continuously as you select Find Next.

If the string is not found anywhere in the project, you will receive a ‘string not found’ error.

The Find function does not highlight the matched strings in the project file. It simply brings the appropriate manager node or page into focus.

You can use the Utilities menu to manage Browsium Controller (BrowsiumController.exe) process. You may need to Start/Stop/Restart Browsium Controller to load new configurations or reproduce troubleshooting steps.
