Winbox settings / config file

RouterOS General

is it possible to use multiple sets of ‘saved’ settings with winbox (yes I know I can import/export but that is a PITA)

EG can I give winbox a command line parameter so it uses a specific file/location to store the saved router details, then I can have different shortcuts pointing at different config files.

Because I look after multiple networks I have major IP address clashes (and renumbering is not necessary / an option) - for example 192.168.1.1 exists on 2 networks with different authentication details so whichever one i have saved will be wrong!

They are accessed over pptp so the address conflicts are not an issue otherwise…

Currently /export/import is the most convenient feature to achieve “set of saved settings”.

Can you try http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/winbox-launcher/48407/1 ?
Only change winbox.cfg…

Hmmm edit the code in memory & then execute it - MESSY!

Have worked around issue by setting up shortcuts for each router with address / user / pwd on command line.

But would seem a simple change to the program to add the option of a command line path for the config file - with a “file not found - create?” question if it doesn’t exist…
