Persisting settings? #21

Open quinnanya opened 2 years ago

quinnanya commented 2 years ago

I might just not know where to look, but is there any way one could persist settings like custom stopword lists, color palettes, etc? I was hoping there might be some kind of folder with some kind of structured data for those things, but I haven't had any luck figuring out where that may be. Thank you!

Yes, it is possible to persist custom stopword lists and color palettes.

From the options dialog: after editing either of those you will get a new ID which can be used to retrieve the custom values. You can then paste that ID into subsequent options dialogs (NB: this is currently broken for the palette but I am working on a fix).

Alternatively, you can append them to the URL, e.g. corpus=austen&palette=903315baf27a070d6749041b2303bc43&stopList=keywords-205e93e6147d25aeefba1ddb3c011962. (If you export an URL for your corpus it will automatically include these custom parameters in the URL.)

This is standard Voyant functionality. Currently there is no support for adding your own presets to a folder for use with VoyantServer.
