<title>Configuration Files Used by &tdevelop;</title>

<para>
&tdevelop; uses a series of configuration files which are distributed amongst several directories. There are two main groups of configuration files to distinguish:
</para>
<simplelist>
  <member>
    <link linkend="app-files-default">&tdevelop; Default Configuration</link> &mdash; files set up when &tdevelop; was installed.
  </member>
  <member>
    <link linkend="app-files-user">User Oriented Configuration</link> &mdash; files which contain user modifications of the defaults as well as settings made by the &tdevelop; application itself and its plugins.
  </member>
</simplelist>

<sect1 id="app-files-default">
<title>&tdevelop; Default Configuration</title>

<para>
On installation, &tdevelop; writes some default information files for setup and configuration purposes into subdirectories of the <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar></filename> installation directory (usually something like <filename class="directory">/opt/kde</filename>, <filename class="directory">/usr/local/kde</filename>, or some other user-defined installation directory, see <link linkend="tdevelop-install">Installing &tdevelop;</link>).
</para>

<sect2 id="app-files-default-config">
<title>Default &tdevelop; Configuration</title>

<para>
There is only one &tdevelop; specific default configuration file in the <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/share/config/</filename> directory:
</para>
<variablelist>
  <varlistentry>
  <term><filename>tdeveloprc</filename></term>
  <listitem><para>
  This file contains the basic settings &tdevelop; needs to start. It will be copied to the user's <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEHOME</envar>/share/config</filename> directory when &tdevelop; does not find a <filename>tdeveloprc</filename> file there on startup.
  </para></listitem>
  </varlistentry>
</variablelist>

</sect2> <!-- app-files-default-config -->

<sect2 id="app-files-default-apps">
<title>Application Specific Defaults</title>

<para>
Most &tdevelop; features are provided by KParts. These are basically applications specially designed to run in the &tdevelop; framework (see the overview in the <link linkend="plugin-tools">Plugin Tools</link> appendix). Each KPart application has its own set of configuration files whose defaults will be stored in several subdirectories of the <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/share/apps/</filename> installation directory.
</para>

<para>
There are quite a lot of default configuration subdirectories in <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/share/apps/</filename> whose names all start with a <filename>kdev</filename> sequence. Most of them are for &tdevelop; internal use only. They might be deliberately grouped for readability as:
<simplelist>

<title>Project Dependent Configuration</title>

<para>
Most project dependend configuration is kept in the <filename>&lt;project-name&gt;.kdevelop</filename> and <filename>&lt;project-name&gt;.kdevses</filename> &tdevelop; project configuration files rather than in separate files as the other, more global, configuration settings. In short, those files are meant for:
</para>
<simplelist>
  <member><filename>&lt;project-name&gt;.kdevelop</filename> &mdash; global project configuration information.</member>
  <member><filename>&lt;project-name&gt;.kdevses</filename> &mdash; configuration information needed to restore the specific behaviours of the running session.</member>
</simplelist>
<para>
Both are &XML; coded files. They can be viewed and (cautiously) altered using any text editor.
</para>

<sect2>
<title>Persistent Code Store Files</title>

<para>There is a third project dependend configuration file, the <filename>&lt;project-name&gt;.kdevelop.pcs</filename> Persistant Code Store. This is a binary coded file holding an internal parser cache for the most part in order to speed up the loading sequence of the project. Additionally, this Persistant Code Store keeps information use by the <guilabel>Code Completion</guilabel> facility of &tdevelop;.
</para>

<note><para>
There can be additional Persistant Code Store files be set up on the <guilabel>Code Completion</guilabel> tab of the <guilabel>C++ Specific</guilabel> project configuration page. Information about these additional <filename>.pcs</filename> is kept globally in the <filename class="directory">$<envar>TDEHOME</envar>/share/apps/kdevcppsupport/pcs/</filename> directory.
