Summary

0000066: precidence of parameters in ini files

Description

In the current release, duplicate parameters that appear multiple times will ignore all except the first instance of a particular parameter. My suggestion is to allow overwriting of previously defined parameters.

This is particularly useful in the case that you want to setup a 'default.ini' that include a baseline set of parameters that will get your simulation running. In practice you would just include it in a "main" ini file and include along with it modified parameters that you want to change, instead of having to restate everything.

Notes
(0000145) baumgart (reporter) 2009-04-14 20:45	As a workaround you could include the default.ini at the end of your omnetpp.ini.

(0000246) andras (administrator) 2010-04-25 19:15	This would introduce major incompatibility, and benefits are dubious.
