| Summary | 0010370: Config Folder - Consider a Menu Bar override file | ||||
| Description | -The Ardour `etc` folder contains a file containing the default keyboard shortcuts. -The Ardour `.config` folder contains `ardour.keys` file that stores user customized keyboard shortcuts that override the defaults when this file is present. It was recently pointed out to me that Menu Bar items can be modified by modifying the `ardour.menu` file within the `etc` folder. I guess not something that most users will use but I was wondering if it would be possible/ever considered to offer a similar `ardour.menu` file in the `.config` folder that would act as an "override" similar to what I mentioned above about keyboard shortcuts? This way if user was to decide to make modifications to this `ardour.menu` file, they would not get erased/replaced by new installs, they could remain in the users `.config` folder to be used again. Can close if not interested Thank You | ||||

This is not planned since the menu file is not versioned and is not a configuration file to begin with. |
|
|
PS. If this works, it's a bug. Ardour SHOULD NOT pick up that file from the config dir. If at all it SHOULD be in XDG_DATA_HOME. |

Okay, thank you Robin No I did not say this worked in the .config folder, this was just a suggestion to see if it could made to work in the .config folder. I will close. |
