I am starting out with Lazarus now and decided to do it in Ubuntu 10.04-2, which I installed this week-end.
One thing I don't know how to convert is the way we store program configuration data in our Windows programs. We usually write all these into ini files, which we drop off in the program directory. This is not really the accepted way even in Windows, where you are supposed to store the config in a completely different location than the program folder. I realize that on Linux it is probably the same and that there exists some agreed system for such storage so that people can find the config files... So can I get some advice on: - What is the common way to store config data on Linux? Ini files are probably not used since they are Windowsisms, but is there some other easily used way where one can simply store and retrieve individual values without scanning through a text file? - Where is the agreed location for such data? - And in fact where is the agreed location for the programs themselves? -- Bo Berglund -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
