467 The following data lists the locations Geeqie uses for various actions.
468 The uppercase symbols are environment variables. If they are not set on
469 your system the fallback locations are listed in parentheses. Geeqie
470 will first attempt to load a configuration file from:
471 /etc/geeqie/geeqierc.xml
473 It will then continue with the following locations. Most of Geeqie's
475 configuration files are contained in the folder, and sub-folders of:
476 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/geeqie/ ($~/.config/geeqie/)
478 Geeqie's standard configuration file is:
480 .../geeqierc.xml
482 An alternative configuration file may be used by executing:
484 geeqie -r --config-load:<filename>
486 Geeqie-created desktop files used by Plugins are in the folder:
488 .../applications
490 Lua script files for Lua Extensions are in the folder:
492 .../lua
494 Historic data such as last several folders visited, bookmarks, and re‐
496 cently used collections, as well as default print settings are con‐
497 tained in this text file:
498 .../history
500 Keyboard shortcut maps are contained in this text file:
502 .../accels
