Hello,
I'm having some problems getting Electric to work properly under
Linux. I have a dual boot MAC OSX 10.4/Ubuntu 8.04 machine.
Electric works fine with the MAC OS. Under Linux, I have tried
running Electric from the jar file on the MAC OS partition (which
has journalling disabled) and from a copy on the Linux partition.
I notice that with the MAC a file called .DS_Store is written
after every session, but not with Linux. Instead I find a series of
files with names like
/home/graham/.java/.userPrefs/com/sun/electric/technology/technologies/prefs.xml
Can someone explain where user preferences (like layer colours
and transparencies) are kept? I would prefer a file kept in the
working directory rather than one in the user's .java directory.
The .DS_Store files are artifacts of the Macintosh file system. They
can be ignored in Linux.
The XML files are your user preferences. You cannot choose their
location...it is a part of the Java "runtime". To see where they
will appear on different operating systems, read:

If you wish to move preferences between operating systems, use the
export/import functions (under the File menu).
