config.xml linux

Request a new feature or modification to pdfsam

config.xml linux

at the moment pdfsam expects that the config.xml is at the
same location as the pdfsam.jar is located.

this is ok for windows but on linux normally the user dont have write
access on the install location of the jar's

the config.xml by the jar can hold some save defaults
but on linux/unix pdfsam should also create the $HOME/.pdfsam/config.xml
and all modifications should be made in this file

config.xml

Postby geos_one » Sat Oct 20, 2007 2:16 pm

this problem can also appear on windows where the networkadmin is blocking software install (and so also write acces to windows system and programm dir is blocked).

by the way i have created an build package handling every thing in one build.xml

http://ftp.mars.arge.at/pub/pdfsam-1.3. ... ld-src.zip
its linux only

also pdfsam cant be build with itext-2.0.6
ENCRYPTION_RC4_* changed to STANDARD_ENCRYPTION_*

Thank you for the help, i'll add some logic to manage the $HOME/.pdfsam/config.xml to the next release that will be completely new.. i'm rewriting pdfsam entirely. Your build.xml will very usefull too, thanks again.
