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.

owl-settings.ini

The owl-setting.ini file stores settings and custome configuration. This file can be specified on the command-line with the -i switch (ie. -i C:\Test\Folder\owl-settings.ini. If the -i switch is not passed, Owl will check the user app data path and then the system app data path.

settings.xml

The settings.xml file contains settings for Owl that typically do not change. This file should not be edited without first understanding its content, since an invalid configuration can cause Owl to malfunction.
