The config file is moving! (VOTE AGAIN! NEW OPTIONS!)

It has been decided that the configfile (.eMule) needs a new name, since (a) the name doesn't make much sense considering that we are called .aMule, (b) 2 other apps use the same file (lMule and xMule).
So please, vote for the file-name + location you would prefer for the config-file. And if no items matches your preferences, just add a post.
NOTE: We will not be changing the .aMule folder!

I like the idea of having everything inside one main directory: .aMule/

on os x:
~/Library/Preferences/aMule Preferences
shouldn't be too much work, given that the current location is:
~/Library/Preferences/eMule Preferences
ideally, the content of ~/.aMule/ would be moved to ~/Library/Application Support/aMule/ but it doesn't matter much imho...

~/.aMule/aMulerc and ~/.aMule/aMule.conf both good. Btw, why do we have 2 files with preferences ?

perferences.dat only contains the userhash, but I could easily merge that into the normal config.file

afaik, preferences.dat exists for eMule compatibility, so that switching form eMule to aMule is as easy as copying preferences.dat, cryptkey.dat and clients.met (optionally) to keep your and other's credits.

I would prefer lowercase, too. The binary is also called amule.

~/.aMule/amule.conf - think the poll would have been 90% ~/.aMule/amule.conf

I think there should be a new poll, because nobody can change his vote to the new option. I would do so.
