Configuration

Settings are stored in a Config.ini file. XIMOD Architect chooses its location automatically:

• Portable mode — if a Config.ini already sits next to the executable, it is used directly and nothing is written elsewhere. This is how the portable .zip archives behave (they ship a Config.ini marker), which is ideal for USB sticks or mod managers.

• Installed mode — otherwise the settings go to the per-user configuration directory:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\XIMOD Architect
  • Linux: ~/.config/XIMOD Architect
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/XIMOD Architect

  This lets the app be installed under C:\Program Files (all users) or another read-only location without needing write access there.

What is stored

Config.ini keeps your interface language and country, theme, font size, "replace newlines" option, splash-screen duration, recent files, and the remembered positions and sizes of the free tool windows. It is a plain INI file; you normally never edit it by hand.

On uninstall (Windows installer), the app and its data are removed but your %APPDATA%\XIMOD Architect settings are kept on purpose, so a reinstall restores your preferences.
