DiversityNavigator uses several configuration files to store settings for several aspects, among them projects, database connections and logging. This settings can be changed by editing the configuration files. All those files are in XML and you should have basic understanding of XML if you edit them.
DiversityNavigator comes with a set of templates for configuration
files. If the program is started it looks for a directory named
.diversity_navigator
(note the leading dot in the directory name,
this is often used under UNIX systems and causes the file to invisible if you
browse the directories)
in your home directory.
If this directory doesn't exist, it copies its templates into that directory. If
this directory does already exist, it doesn't touch this directory; the
assumption here is that you have already edited them and they should not be
overwritten. This provides an easy way to return to the default values, if you
have messed up the configuraton files: just shut down DiversityNavigator, remove the configuration directory
.diversity_navigator
and start up DiversityNavigator again;
this gives you a new set of configuration files.
The following configuration files are used by DiversityNavigator:
diversity_navigator.connections.xml
diversity_navigator.projects.xml
diversity_navigator.log.xml
