Configuration Files

Configuration Files

FBReader keeps several kinds of configuration data:

• options that affect application behaviour (places to look for books for, scrolling, keybindings, etc…)
• options that specifically related to the way how the text is shown
• current state of the program (current and previously read books, positions in each of them)
• information about books, both automatically detected and manually added by the user

Automatic Saving

As of version 0.7.3e FBReader supports automatic configuration data saving: every XX seconds FBReader tries to save any changed configuration data. You can control this feature by opening "Preferences" dialog and going to "Config" page. There are two options there:

Save State Automatically

controls whether this option is enabled. The default value is 'enabled'.

Timeout between Savings, seconds

controls how often FBReader check if there is anything to save. The default value is 5 seconds.

Cover thing 1: FBReader saves the only changed configuration files. If nothing was changed, nothing is written. Note: if you scroll through a book, then the state of the application is changing and, as result, that particular information will be stored.

Cover thing 2: auto saving and jffs.
