You can modify the code code to do this. The intended functionality is
to use the same path as argv[0] (assuming the program was compiled
with ENABLEGLOBALARGV) otherwise to use the current directory.
In config.c, look for the function BuildFileName(). Here's the code:
void BuildFileName(char *path, const char *fn, const char *ext)
{
char *cp = path;
/* if Argv[0] is available then open file in same dir as Application binary */
#ifdef ENABLEGLOBALARGV
strcpy(path, Argv[0]);
cp = strrchr(path, '\\');
if (cp == NULL)
cp = path;
else
cp++;
#endif
strcpy(cp, fn);
strcat(cp, ext);
}
You can make the edit there to force the config file to be saved/read
in whatever directory you want.
