# HandBrakeCLI is the command line build (test/module.defs sets

# TEST.exe = $(HB.name)CLI); ghb is the GTK application

# (gtk/src/meson.build, executable('ghb', …)). The Windows GUI is HandBrake.exe

# and the macOS bundle identifier is fr.handbrake.HandBrake

# (macosx/Info.plist.m4).

detect = ["HandBrakeCLI", "ghb"]

# libhb/preset.c picks the presets file per platform:

# SYS_LINUX "ghb/presets.json"

# SYS_MINGW "HandBrake\\presets.json"

# SYS_DARWIN "HandBrake/UserPresets.json"

# joined to hb_get_user_config_directory() (libhb/ports.c), which is

# FOLDERID_RoamingAppData on Windows, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME else $HOME/.config on

# Linux, and ~/Library/Application Support on macOS

# (HBUtilities.m, +appSupportURL). Three different file names in three

# different places, so each is written out rather than folded into one root.

# Beside the presets, each GUI keeps its own settings: the macOS app in the

# NSUserDefaults domain fr.handbrake.HandBrake, the GTK app in

# ~/.config/ghb/preferences.json (gtk/src/presets.c reads

# read_config_file("preferences.json") from ghb_get_user_config_dir()), and the

# Windows app in %APPDATA%\HandBrake\settings.json

# (win/CS/…/UserSettingService.cs over DirectoryUtilities.GetUserStoragePath()).

# The last entry is the Mac App Store build, which is sandboxed and so writes

# the same tree inside its container (libhb/platform/macosx/config.m).

# HandBrake's state and logs sit beside these files rather than inside them —

# QueueV2.hbqueue next to UserPresets.json on macOS (HBAppDelegate.m),

# EncodeLogs/ next to presets.json on Linux, logs/ next to settings.json on

# Windows — and none of them is named above, since this entry lists files

# rather than the directories that hold them.

secret = []

# No machine_lines. A preset is encoder, quality, filters, audio and subtitle

# behaviour, which is the whole reason to carry the file between machines. The

# settings files do hold a default output directory, an absolute path — but on

# macOS that lives in a property list, which this schema cannot parse, so a

# rule would cover Linux and Windows only and silently miss the Mac.
