34.5.4 Understanding when Mif2Go prompts for user variables

Mif2Go prompts for user-variable values at the start of a conversion. Mif2Go reads the main configuration file first, and then prompts for values of variables:

before reading file-specific configuration files, if you are converting a book

after reading any file-specific configuration file, if you are converting a single file.

As a result, if you specify an initial value for user variable MyVar in filename.ini, you are prompted for the value of MyVar when you are converting filename.fm by itself; but you would be prompted for the value of MyVar when you are converting a book that includes filename.ini only if you also specified an initial value for MyVar in the main configuration file for the book.
