What's New

Add version selection for parameters, the shortcuts is cmd+shift+v for Mac OS, and ctrl+shift+v for MS Windows. You just need to enter the shortcuts in the opend .prm window, there is a option list popup on the top, and then just select a version you want.

Add user configuration for path of parameters.

Someone will ask: the package only have three options(see above), how can I add another version, e.g., v2.4.0. There are two ways you can solve it.

• (1) copy a folder (named e.g., v2.4.0) containing parameters.json which you like to add to the ASPECT extension to the Parameters path. If you don't know where is the parameters path, please see the snapshot above, when you type the shortcuts, the path will display on the lower right.
• (2) Make a path with subfolders of each version containing parameters.json file, and then set this path to the user configure option. The folder organization are shown in section New organization for Parameter files.
