Locating the AmphIdent Configuration Files


AmphIdent uses XML configuration for global and module-specific settings. For each used database, a separate XML file is used. AmphIdent is preinstalled with one configuration file for each species module, according to the following table:

  • Fire-bellied toads use RU.xml
  • Crested newts use KM.xml
  • Fire salamanders use SA.xml

The configuration files are stored in the application data directory of your PC. The most easiest way to access these files is explained as follows:

  1. Open the Windows explorer and click into the address bar:
  2. Type into the address bar %appdata%\AmphIdent
  3. Press Return. The Windows explorer moves to the application data directory of AmphIdent. Now, enter the directory CmnData to find the configuration files for AmphIdent.
