configuration-files

I am planning to develop a cross-platform script. On Linux and other operating systems, it will store configuration in XDG_CONFIG_HOME and data files (specifically, downloaded plugins) in XDG_DATA_HOME . On Windows, it will use APPDATA for both (unless someone has a better idea). However, what would be the proper thing to do on Mac OS X? On my first glance through a handy Macbook's ~/Library directory, I saw Preferences and Application Support folders. I was originally planning to use those, but Preferences seems to just contain plists with reverse domain names like com.apple.foo.bar.baz.plist

I'm looking for a file where Eclipse stores its launch configurations. I'm doing some Java development in Ubuntu. One of the executables i'm developing requires an output from another executable as a argument to it. So say, the output of 'B' needs to be passed as a commandline argument to 'A'. In the Eclipse, I don't want to manually change the "Run Configuration" every time. Where does Eclipse store these configurations esp the arguments? I found a "eclipseArguments.txt" in the extras folder of the project but this isn't the same as the arguments I'm passing into the Run Configurations. The "

When you do your first clone using the syntax git clone username@server:gitRepo.git Is it possible using your local repository to find the name of that initial clone? (So in the above example, find gitRepo.git .) allait In the repository root, the .git/config file holds all information about remote repositories and branches. In your example, you should look for something like: [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = server:gitRepo.git Also, the Git command git remote -v shows the remote repository name and URL. The "origin" remote repository usually corresponds to

I'm trying to do something like: $config['first_link'] = 'lang:pagination_first_link'; $config['prev_link'] = 'lang:pagination_prev_link'; $config['next_link'] = 'lang:pagination_next_link'; $config['last_link'] = 'lang:pagination_last_link'; Is there a simple way to do this ? This configuration is specific to the Pagination config file, but the question is generic. You have language folders for that. If you take a look at system/language/english, you can see how CodeIgniter deals with internationalization. For your example, you would create a file in system/language/english, called pagination

I wrote a custom configuration section, collection, and element to add/modify to my app.config. All seems to be going well and it works perfectly running in Visual Studio. However, when I install the application and it comes time to save the new data to the custom config section, the following exception is thrown: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unable to save config to file '{path to config file}' The interesting part is that if I run the application in administrator mode, everything works fine. Is there any reason it would only work as administrator? EDIT: I should note

I am trying to modify a config file in Java using Properties. I read, write and modify the lines successfully using Properties.store, load and setProperty, but I noticed that after doing such operation the file is overwritten and thus I loose al the lines in the config file that are not key-value pairs. Namely, I loose the comments. Is there a way to keep such lines using java.util? Placing a prefix in each line is not a problem. I know how to do it 'manually' reading line by line; I'am asking instead for an alternative I don't think it is possible. Note that properties also don't promise that
