INI location

[gh658804]

It would be nice if a n2ini.loc (for example) file existed inside program dir. This file would contain a single line which would be the actual location of the INI file. That way, one could place the INI everywhere he wishes (i.e. under %USERPROFILE% folder) and the usage of the command-line parameter could be avoided.

If /f parameter has not been defined, the program could search for n2ini.loc in the program folder and if not found, proceed as it does today. If found, read the first line from it and if the folder (that should exist in there) does exist, read the INI from it.

This is the default behavior, Notepad2 currently (sine some years ago) search following folders in order to find INI files:

1. The Notepad2.exe folder.
2. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Notepad2\, e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\Notepad2\
3. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad2\, e.g. %APPDATA%\Notepad2\
4. C:\Users\<username>\Notepad2\, e.g. HOMEPATH\Notepad2\

Great. That's enough then. Idea withdrawn.

Thanks for the info.

Oh, I.m wrong, INI file in Notepad2.exe folder is checked first, to prevent that, you can move the INI to any of the three folders or uncomment following two lines in Notepad2.ini

[Notepad2]
;Notepad2.ini=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Notepad2\Notepad2.ini
;DarkTheme.ini=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Notepad2\Notepad2 DarkTheme.ini
