The relevant method is readSettingsFiles in leoConfig.py. It uses the
following table:
table = (
(self.globalConfigFile,False),
(self.homeFile,False),
(localConfigFile,False),
(self.myGlobalConfigFile,False),
(self.myHomeConfigFile,False),
(self.machineConfigFile,False),
(myLocalConfigFile,False),
# New in Leo 4.6: the -c file is in *addition* to other config
files.
(g.app.oneConfigFilename,False),
(fileName,True),
This corresponds, I think, to the following files:
1: [globalConfigFile]
1a. sys.globalConfigDir/leoSettings.leo
1b. leo/config.leoSettings.leo
2. [homeFile] ~/leoSettings.leo
3. [localConfiFile] xDir/leoSettings.leo where is the directory of x.leo
4. [myGlobalConfigFile]
4a. sys.globalConfigDir/myLeoSettings.leo
4b. leo/config/myLeoSettings.leo
5. [machineConfigFile]
Too horrible to describe.
See g.computeMachineDir and config.initSettingsFiles.
6. [myLocalConfigFile] xDir/myLeoSettings.leo
7. [g.app.oneConfigFile] The file specified in the -c option.
8. [fileName] x.leo
This is a true horror show, created at the requests of various users.
As a minor help, Leo announces three directories on startup:
load dir: C:\leo.repo\trunk\leo\core
global config dir: C:\leo.repo\trunk\leo\config
home dir: C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\Edward
Note, in particular, there is no such thing as <cwd>. You probably mean
g.app.loadDir.
When in doubt, consult the code, namely:
g.computeGlobalConfigDir
g.computeHomeDir
g.computeLeoDir
g.computeLoadDir
g.computeMachineDir
g.computeStandardDirectories
config.initSettingsFiles
config.readSettingsFiles
In short, there is absolutely no way to make sense of all this. Even if you
could, you couldn't remember it for more than 5 minutes.
