Where are Settings Stored?

Which file stores all these preferences so that they can be exchanged with other saved preference files, allowing you to quickly switch between working with one preference and then another?
For example, I only want to update the genre from Discogs in my files.

The configuration folder is platform dependent and uses the following standard locations

  • Windows , C:\Users\username\Jaikoz
  • Linux , $HOME/.jaikoz
  • MacOS , Library:Preferences:Jaikoz

Most settings are stored in setting.properties

So for example in Jaikoz if MusicBrainz:Format:Genre is set to Never Alter

image

then settings.properties would have

genreOverwriteOption=3

The Genre grey list is stored in genrelist.txt

Rename masks are stored in renamemask.properties

Scripts are stored in scripter.properties

License details are stored in license.jai

The list of classical composers used for identifying classical releases is classical_composers.txt , with conductors stored in classical_conductors.txt and everyone else in classical_people.txt . The exclusions lists for albums are stored in not_classical_release.txt

None of the above files should be modified by hand
