Executable File & User Settings #sBitx

Hi Ashhar,

I would highly recommend that the "live" sbitx executable file, macro files, and user settings be moved out of the user¡¯s git directory and be placed elsewhere. I noticed the sbitx executable and user settings file makes pull requests become unmergable. This is easily fixable, but will be an ongoing issue. As I believe someone else mentioned, there are conflicts with the user settings file that is pushed via git pull and the user¡¯s settings file. Perhaps there should be a versioning method in the user setting file which the executable checks at runtime and informs the user if they need to update the user setting file from git. This will likely happen as new features which include new settings are added to the settings file.

I¡¯d be happy to work on the user settings file version functionality and also a script users could run (i.e. ¡°install¡± or ¡°update¡±) to place the executable and macros in another directory from their git directory, and give the option of keeping their existing user settings file, or overwriting or appending new settings from git.
