A single configuration file for all settings

Open probstlukas opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Files such as .iliasignore, .iliaslogin, course_names.toml and the flags/options that can be set via the command itself should be combined in a single configuration file such as downloader.conf.

I would add that the .iliaslogin is a bit unhandy as it has to be present in the target folder, which might be different for each course download. It would be, I think, wiser to search for it (or any config file) in the directory where the executable itself is.

Good point. However, the .iliasignore configuration probably needs to be different per download target.. maybe it would be best to have a central config file (combining login + course names) and separate configs for each download directory (.iliasignore).

That's a good point, I'd love to see this in an upcoming update. :)
