Changing default highlighted button in Meditor dialog boxes

Description:
Is it possible to change the default selected value for the Dialog Boxes in Meditor? For example, when editing shared metadata, a dialog box appears asking if we want to copy the metadata, or edit. "Yes" is the default highlighted button, but we'd prefer if it was "No".

Resolution:
The related configuration file is on your PC at: C:\DigiTool\MEDITOR\TAB\eng\message.dat. You can change the following line in the file so that "No" will be the default highlighted button when editing shared metadata:

CopyShareMD DigiTool Meditor YN 1 Q Do you want to copy the Metadata or edit the shared one?\nTo copy Metadata press YES button.\nTo edit the shared Metadata - press NO button.

To update it on the server so that all staff users can get the updated one, you need to change the file under:
/exlibris/dtl/d3_x/dtl/pc_exe/sp_exe/meditor/tab/eng
(if the message.dat file is not under ./sp_exe directory, you can copy it from /exlibris/dtl/d3_x/dtl/pc_exe/sp_conf)
