The config file is moving! (VOTE AGAIN! NEW OPTIONS!)
« on: October 28, 2004, 01:03:36 AM »

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

xaignar:
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.

~/.aMule/amule.conf seems to me a good standart name :)
