In order to work, the application needs two configuration files and one database. The two configuration files consists of a pair of files.
For example:
- The primary ffDiaporama.xml file is stored in the ffDiaporama directory. This file is global for all users: it contains the default ffDiaporama application settings.
- For Windows, this is C:\Program Files\ffDiaporama
- For Linux, it is /usr/share/ffDiaporama
- A secondary user-specific ffDiaporama.xml file is stored in the user's profile folder.
- For Windows, this is C:\Document and settings\[user]
- For Linux, it is ~/.ffDiaporama
When the application is launched for the first time, the user configuration files and the database are created if they dont already exist.
Remark:
If ffDiaporama is used by several users on the same PC, there will be separate configuration files and database for each user.
