config.yml mentions Windows and Linux but not macOS about torrenttools HOT 5 CLOSED

There are two places for configuration: one that is system-wide were the default configuration is stored, and one that is specific for the current user.

On mac the system location is: /Library/torrenttools/etc/
and the user location: $HOME/Library/Application Support/torrenttools/

On windows the system location is inside the install location: C:\Program Files\torrenttools\
and the user location is in: %APPDATA%\torrenttools
The default value for %APPDATA% can differ a bit between windows versions but on windows 10 this points to:
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming

on linux the system configuration is stored in /etc
and the user location $HOME/.local/torrenttools

If there are files found in the user location these will be used.
Only if there is no user configuration, the files in the system location will be used.

@newadventure079 That the directory does not exist is a small difference between the windows installers and the mac installer.
I forgot to create that directory in the mac installer.

I need to add a section about all this in the documentation.

The per-user configuration on macOS is stored in: $HOME/Library/Application Support/torrenttools

$HOME/Library/Application Support/torrenttools doesnt exist for me. I found it in /Library/torrenttools/etc/

For Windows it is:

# Windows : {username}\%AppData%\roaming\torrenttools\config.yml

from torrenttools.

What about docker?
Where exactly config should exists?

volumes: - /path/to/appdata/config:/config - /path/to/downloads:/downloads
