Import settings automatically

[Gioele]

Is there a way to make TestComplete import settings from an exported settings file programmatically?

if I change/add a NameMapping Template, the only way I know to update all my team-mates is to export a settings file so that they can download it and manually import new templates. I would like to ease their work, may I copy the settings file from outside?

There currently is not a way to do that programmatically.  It probably would be difficult to do so since a number of the things that are imported in settings files actually can affect the way tests run or TestComplete behaves, things that need to be initialized when a test run starts.

Thanks for the reply.

So do I need to import templates manually from every machine running TestComplete? Are templates related to TestComplete ProjectSuite / NameMapping file or they only depends on application?

I believe they are universal on the installation and not related to any particular project, project suite, or application under test.
