If you only want to change the path to the parameter file, use setFolderName procedure instead of this one.

Parameters
AFilePath
Absolute file path (drive+folder+file name+extension) to the parameter file you want to use.
AReload
If set to True (by default), call Load procedure after changing the file path.
Public procedure InitDefaultFileNameV2(const AEditor, ASoftware: string; AReload: boolean = true);

Initialise the folder and the filename with a new default tree: => "Documents / Editor / Software" for DEBUG and iOS => "AppData (HomePath) / Editor / Software" in RELEASE (except iOS)

Public procedure MoveToFilePath(ANewFilePath: string; ASave: boolean = true; ACreateFolder: boolean = False);

Return the absolute path to the parameter file (drive+folder+file name+extension)

Public function ToJSON: string;

Return the current parameters as a serialized JSON object.

Public function AsJSONObject(AClone: boolean = true): TJSONObject;

Return the current parameters as a JSON object
