Hi! I often use some kind of initialize program, where I set some default system switches and KIDE always saves my AUTOSTART.PC ON with lowercase letters. It happens only if I have autostart.pc program (i.e. on screenshot I don't have autostart2.pc program, so it keeps uppercase). Could you, please, do something with that?

Hi,
after loading the AS file, K-IDE searches the whole source code for the known variable/program names and replaces the names it found with the name case of the variable list. So if you use a program "autostart.pc", K-IDE replaces "AUTOSTART.PC" with "autostart.pc". If you rename that program to "Autostart.PC", you'll find "Autostart.PC ON" in your program's switch section.

Just an idea: what if you use a template for your switches in your initial AS file or a separate AS file?

.SYSDATA
  SWITCH CP              ON
  SWITCH PREFETCH.SIGINS OFF
  SWITCH QTOOL           OFF
  SWITCH REP_ONCE        ON
  SWITCH HOLD.STEP       ON
  SWITCH DISP.EXESTEP    ON
  SWITCH PROG.DATE       ON
  SWITCH ABS.SPEED       ON
  SWITCH AUTOSTART.PC    ON
  SWITCH ERRSTART.PC     ON
.END
 

Thank you, Cquante!

I will move only AUTOSTART.PC to the .SYSDATA section because I want to make sure that all switches are set exactly as required.
I will also have the PLC check separately whether autostart is enabled, so that the PLC can detect if AUTOSTART.PC has been disabled.
