What is overriding my ~/Library/Preferences/couchdb2-local.ini

[marklindsay24]

This is related to #1020

I have tried for two days trying to figure out how to override DB location when running the Mac App.

None of following updates work:
~/Library/Preferences/couchdb2-local.ini
/Applications/Apache\ CouchDB.app/Contents/Resources/couchdbx-core/etc/default.ini

Please HELP!

I'm sorry, I already posted to closed defect #1020 and figured no one would look at because it was closed. I tried EVERY THING mentioned in #1020, with no luck.

I'm sorry, but that is short answer. I would like this re-opened. OR clear instructions on updating plist. What was mentioned there was changing IP address, which I tried. but plist does not contain any database_dir.
