This depends on how you define the use case. The use case is that I want to allow the installer to store the config values, including the location of the config files, outside the application folder, because it will be updated by the author. Moreover, I don't like to rely on the space outside this application folder either. This is my use case, but it is not in a controlled environment such as provided by web2py. I imagine a wilder environment, but with still a lot of tools to create applications easily. Unfortunately, it is not that I have to deal with this kind of environments, but that I would like it to be that way. Perhaps this kind of environment is not possible, but the concept is there anyway. You say that nobody complained about web2py on this regard. Maybe people do not know better. In any case, it turns out there is way to fulfill this "use case". You simply replace the application (to be updated) by a wrapper application. The wrapper application is controlled by the installer, then it is fine. >From there the installer can decide where to store the config file. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
