# src/edapp.cpp in the project's own source picks the config file per platform:

# #if defined(__WXOSX__)

# #define CFG_FILE (wxStandardPaths::Get().GetUserConfigDir() + "/net.poedit.Poedit.cfg")

# #elif defined(__UNIX__)

# ... wxGetEnv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME", &xdgConfigHome) else wxGetHomeDir() + "/.config";

# wxString configFile = xdgConfigHome + "/poedit" + "/config";

# #else

# #define CFG_FILE wxString() // Windows: wxConfig falls back to the registry

# #endif

# Config::Initialize(CFG_FILE.ToStdWstring());

# so:

# * macOS — wxStandardPaths' user config dir is ~/Library/Preferences, which

# is [preferences]; the Homebrew cask's zap stanza lists exactly

# ~/Library/Preferences/net.poedit.Poedit.cfg

# (https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/poedit.json). It is a wxFileConfig

# text file, not a property list, despite living there.

# * Linux — Poedit reads $XDG_CONFIG_HOME itself, which is what [configHome]

# names. On macOS Poedit takes the branch above instead and on Windows it

# uses the registry, so on those two a consumer simply finds no such file.

paths = [

"[preferences]/net.poedit.Poedit.cfg",

"[configHome]/poedit/config",

]

# ~/Library/Application Support/Poedit, which the same zap stanza lists, is the

# translation memory database rather than settings, and it is not named above.

# Nothing in the config file is a credential: src/crowdin_client.cpp puts the

# Crowdin OAuth token in the system keychain instead —

# `keytar::AddPassword("Crowdin", "", "2:" + ct.encoded)` — and reads it back

# with keytar::GetPassword, never through wxConfig.

secret = []

# The two files are the same wxFileConfig format — `[group]` headers and

# `key=value` lines — so one rule with both spellings covers them, and a prefix

# rule reads them without needing a `format`. `last_file_path`, which

# src/edframe.cpp reads and writes by that name, is the directory the last

# catalog was opened from: an absolute path into one machine's filesystem.

# Everything else in the file — the translator name and e-mail, spellchecking,

# the editor font, the update settings — is a preference the user wants

# everywhere.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/poedit. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page. None of them splits last_file_path and last_file_path for you — that part is Otty’s own sync, or a template you write by hand.
