Configuration options

There are a few default configuration options you can override by putting them in the config.xml found in the hidden /.config/sparkleshare/ folder (\AppData\Roaming\sparkleshare on Windows). They are "folders_path"; the locations of the folders you want to sync, "notifications; whether you want notification bubbles to pop up (this can also be toggled in the status icon menu, important notifications will still pop up) and "announcements_url" to specify your own announcements server to announce new changes to clients so they can sync instantly (by default a public anonymous server will be used).
