Help: list all configuration file path

[QiangF]

I was expecting all configurations under ~/.config/lxqt. But in lxqt-config-session, the manually added command and command name in "Global Autostart" is not saved in that folder. Where is that setting saved?

And we have pcmanfm config under ~/.config/pcmanfm-qt/lxqt. Why not put them all in one place?

Many people use symlinks to manage dotfiles, (#740) Clicking around to get all settings is not fun. If lxqt can be configured with text files or command line (#597), it will attract more users. :-)

LXQt is modular, and pcmanfm-qt can be used under any DE, independently of LXQt. That's also true for lxqt-archiver, lximage-qt,.... Also, auto-start has its standard config folder.

EDIT: lxqt-archiver is an exception for historical reasons (we thought it could follow LXQt file dialog's config file, but it couldn't) and it's too late for it to have its config file outside the lxqt folder.

Config files aren't for manual editing by average users. Advanced users have to find them themselves and know how to deal with them, at their own risk. That's true for all apps.

@tsujan Can you please give a hint on where the manually added command and command name in "Global Autostart" is saved? I know the desktop file are in /etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart. I can't find the autostart for command that doesn't have a desktop file.

Inactive autostart entries are made hidden in ~/.config/autostart, desktop files will be created there if adding manually.

Sorry it is in ~/.config/autostart. I should have double checked.

As for the auto-start, please note that it isn't specific to LXQt. There can be other items from other DEs in it. The value of OnlyShowIn inside each desktop entry determines under which DE it's active.
