Owl uses a number of files and folders. Some of these are in the personal configuration folders while others are maintained in the system areas.
Files
owl-settings.ini
The owl-setting.ini
file stores settings and custom configuration. Owl will will load this file from the user's data path (specified below). If the file is not found or fails to load, then Owl will not load. This file can be specified on the command-line with the -i switch, for example:
-i=C:\Test\Folder\owl-settings.ini
Note: Future versions of Owl will create a default version owl-settings.ini if the file is not found (OWL-129).
