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.

To change a project's path

1. Add the project (if not already added)
2. Quit SparkleShare
3. Move the project folder to new_location (e.g., with your file manager)
4. Edit the config folder section for the project
   1. Set path to the new_location. This will be the parent folder of the project. (Do not include the project's name in the path.)
   2. Change name if you rename the project folder as well
5. Restart SparkleShare

To use your avatar

1. Add an avatar at http://gravatar.com for the email config value
2. Add in the <fetch_avatars>True</fetch_avatars> config option
3. Restart SparkleShare
4. SparkleShare will then pull down the avatar from there into ~/.config/sparkleshare/avatars/ folder (%APPDATA%\sparkleshare\avatars\ on Windows)
