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 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 load the owl-settings.ini file from the user's data path. If the owl-settings.ini file is missing then Owl will fail to load.

Note: Future versions of Owl will create a default version owl-settings.ini if the file is not found (OWL-129).
