I wantto change CL 's configfile 's save-path

Post by lyricc »

I must Say that CL is a greate ide,cl is getting better and better . I'm very like it.Once it's portable .Now it put it's config-file into path:%app%/codelite on Win .
Now I have compiled CL successfuly.But I dont known wxWidget.I just want to change the way that CL save it's config-files.
So on Windows ,where should be changed in CL source code?

Sorry for the late response, however there is no single place to change since codelite has multiple configuration files (codelite.xml , accelerators, build_settings.xml and others)
Also, there is no wrapper class to manage the configuration. codelite uses the standard wxWidgets API (wxStandardPaths::Get().GetUserDataDir()) in various places in the code to get the configuration place.

Bottom line: it can be done, but you need to invest some time for how to make it work properly
