Under Umit’s Roof

Warning

This documentation is not finished! Part or all of it’s content may be missing or inaccurate. As Umit is under constant development and improvement, expect changes in this documentation at upcoming releases.

Configuration Files

Umit will always try to create a $HOME/.umit configuration directory if it doesn’t exists yet, under UNIX. Under Windows it will try to a configuration directory named umit under user’s local application data. We call this configuration directory as UMIT_CFG_DIR.

The steps bellow, describes how Umit is going to behave on every startup in order to load the configuration files:

  1. Check if the location of the hardcoded paths does exist
  2. Check if UMIT_CFG_DIR does exist
  3. If UMIT_CFG_DIR does exist, than check the version of the files
  4. If the version of the files is older than the current Umit version, update the config files
  5. If UMIT_CFG_DIR doesn’t exist, tries to create one
  6. If it is not possible to create the UMIT_CFG_DIR, then Umit will use the factory-made files
