Configuration options

There are a few default configuration options you can override by putting them in the config.xml found in:

• Mac - ~/.config/sparkleshare/
• Linux (default package manager) - ~/.config/sparkleshare/
• Linux (flatpak) - ~/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/
• Windows - %APPDATA%\sparkleshare\

These may change or may be removed at any time, so be careful if you plan to make any manual changes.
