The files bookmarks.txt, connections.txt and
dxconfig.txt should be saved in the user-home and not
in app-dir. This means a dir like /home/user/.jxplorer
for unix. On Windows there is a similar thing (on my
german win2k there is a c:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\seebi)

If this is done, jxplorer can be installed and
customzed centrally by admins.

    Hmmm... not sure. As a personal user, I find it convenient
    to have everything encapsulated in the same directory.
    However I see your point. I think the answer is to make
    this configurable, or equivalently to have JXplorer search
    both locations.

    Slated for 3.1 release. Will make this configurable. This
    is now the only remaining feature that needs work before 3.1
    goes out.

    Functionality added - keys on a system environment variable
    'jxplorer.config'

    if set to 'user.home' this goes to user home and creates a
    sub-directory jxplorer/ for dxconfig, bookmarks, connections
    search filters
    if set to a normal directory, it will use that for config

    If nothing is set, it will first search the user home and
    use config from there if it exists, if nothing is found
    there it will default to the old behaviour and use the
    directory it is run from.
