As discussed in bug #55822, there are two options for storing the GUI configuration files at a location that follows the platform's conventions: * Let QSettings select the location and name of the settings file on each platform based on names for "application" and "organization" * Using QStandardPaths::GenericConfigLocation and the current directory structure (octave/qt-settings) relative to this In the first case, which is to my opinion the approach with best alignment to the platform's conventions, we would have to chose suitable names for "organization" and "application". _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55855> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
