Re: [orca-list] Default location of settings/preferences

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello Alynne,

Here at least (not running Ubuntu) they are stored in:
~/.local/share/orca/user-settings.conf

Best regards,

Didier

TIP: to check, open a terminal, then change some orca setting and in the
terminal type:
find ~ -mmin -2
This will list the files in ~ and its sub-directories that have been
modified since 2 minutes.
