Configuration Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, the application will look for and load the config files in
the following locations and order:
By default, Looking Glass will load config files from
the following locations:
- /etc/looking-glass-client.ini
- ~/.looking-glass-client.ini
- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/looking-glass/client.ini (usually ~/.config/looking-glass/client.ini)
Config options are merged from all files. Same options appearing in more
than one file will be overridden by the latest loaded one (E.g. an option
appearing in ~/.config/looking-glass/client.ini will override the same
option appearing in ~/.looking-glass-client.ini). When first launched,
the Looking-Glass client will create the folder $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/looking-glass/
if it does not yet exist.
All config files are loaded in order. Duplicate entries override earlier ones.
This means you can set a system-wide configuration in
``/etc/looking-glass-client.ini``, and override specific options for just
your user in ``~/.looking-glass-client.ini``, which is overlayed on top of
the system-wide configuration.
The format of this file is the commonly known INI format, for example::
