Hi! I have on my hard disc a quite big change in the way KConfig works in KDE. Nothing of what Preston touched, but how it looks for files. It follows now the many-reads-one-write concept KStandardDirs introduced more transparently. So you only give it the filename in a relative path and kconfig looks itself where it's present. When it writes, it just writes to .kde/share/config. Either into appnamerc or into kdeglobals. I also removed the file creation code in KApplication as it was rather pointless to write in KApplication no matter if KConfig will write something or not. It's KConfigBackEnds's job to create the files if needed. I will need some time to test it, but I want to apologize right now as I'm sure I'll break something :) Greetings, Stephan -- As long as Linux remains a religion of freeware fanatics, Microsoft have nothing to worry about.
