As downloaded at most versions, the Cumulus 1 executable | As downloaded at most versions, the Cumulus 1 installer will create a single executable called '''cumulus.exe''' with all letters in lowercase (there were a few releases where the created executable started with a capital letter). Also the installer for various beta versions behaved slightly differently. The configuration file that Cumulus 1 creates on first use will take the name of the executable file (keeping to the same case for each character) and replace the extension ('''.ini''' instead of .exe) and will be stored in same folder as the executable, it will contain all sections. | ||
If when you installed Cumulus 1, you had renamed that executable file to say ''Cumulus1.exe'' before you tried to run it, then Cumulus will still start, but it will create a new main configuration file based on that name (i.e. ''Cumulus1.ini'') in the same folder. It will also create another configuration file called ''Cumulus.ini'' in that folder. You will see all but one section in the first file, and the final section in the second file. But if you were running Cumulus 1 before this, you may be missing some of your settings because of the configuration now being split. | Cumulus 1 does not actually care what its executable is called, so some people have renamed it to reflect the version number.

An additional configuration file, also called Cumulus.ini, can be created by Cumulus 1 to store the position of the NOAA parameter editing screen, this will be created the first time you edit NOAA parameters and will be stored in the "Reports" folder this only contains a [[#Section:_MainForm|single section]] and relates to the screen used for NOAA reports. | An additional configuration file, also called Cumulus.ini, can be created by Cumulus 1 to store the position of the NOAA parameter editing screen, this will be created the first time you edit NOAA parameters and will be stored in the "Reports" folder this only contains a [[#Section:_MainForm|single section]] and relates to the screen used for NOAA reports. | ||
