Question
How and when does io.Connect Desktop process configuration files, such as system.json or application.json? When are these settings loaded, and will changes take effect without restarting the platform?
Answer
Configuration files such as system.json, application.json, and other related definitions are read and applied when the io.Connect Desktop platform starts.
When io.Connect starts up, it loads these configurations into memory, initializing services like the App Management, Layouts, and Window Management APIs. Any edits to these configuration files while the platform is running won’t be applied automatically. The platform needs to be restarted to reload and apply the updated settings.
