GetAppConfigFile returns the name of a file in which the application can store its configuration parameters. The Global parameter determines whether it is a global configuration file (value True) or a personal configuration file (value False). The parameter SubDir, in case it is set to True, will insert the name of a directory before the filename. This can be used in case the application needs to store other data than configuration data in an application-specific directory. Default behaviour is to set this to False. The default file extension of the returned file is: .cfg
No assumptions should be made about the existence or writeability of this file, or the directory where the file should reside.
On systems where the operating system provides a call to determine the location of configuration files, this call will be used. On systems where there is no such call, an algorithm is used which reflects common practice on that system.
The application name is deduced from the binary name via the ApplicationName call, but can be configured by means of the OnGetApplicationName callback.
