Config Files

gSpiceUI creates the following config file.

%USERPROFILE%\.gspiceui.conf

If you want to reset gSpiceUI settings, delete the above config file.

gschem creates the following config files.

%USERPROFILE%\.gEDA
%USERPROFILE%\.pcb
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\gEDA\geda-user.conf

Creating files gschemrc and gafrc allows you to customize gschem and gnetlist behavior with your own settings. These files should be written in guile script.

These config files define user global settings when you put them in %USERPROFILE%\.gEDA folder.

These files define project only settings when you put them in the project folder.

.gEDA\gschemrc example:
; disable auto-saving
(auto-save-interval 0)

.gEDA\gafrc example:
(component-library "C:\\Users\\USER\\.gEDA\\local_symbols" "Local Symbols")

Your own symbol library files (.sym) are recommended to place in local_symbols subfolder in %USERPROFILE%\.gEDA folder.
