Currently, the "current" directory of "recaf-x.jar" creates a bunch of .json configuration files, generating some "visual noise".
Agreed. But instead of moving all of them to a new directory, why not just combine them to a single JSON file? It can archive the same "visual" result with a much cleaner design.

Nonsense, I appreciate all the issues and ideas people provide. I'm glad you like the tool enough to contribute ideas.
As for the issue of making a folder vs combining the files I will probably go with a folder. Here's the pros that I see for each:
pro: config folder
pro: single config file
So in my mind the real question is where should the folder go? The home directory? Adjacent to the recaf jar?

In my humble opinion, within the "home" directory it's more standard and practical, but needs a little more code :)
Windows OS: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\recaf GNU/Linux: /home/UserName/.config/recaf
Sample code:
String currentUserHomeDirectory = System.getProperty("user.home");
// If Linux
String ConfigDir = currentUserHomeDirectory + File.separator + ".config" + File.separator + ".recaf";
// If Windows
String ConfigDir = currentUserHomeDirectory + File.separator + "AppData" + File.separator + "Local" + File.separator + "recaf";
Another simpler option, it's to have and adjacent directory.
Placed the folder adjacent to the jar.
Moving the config files to rc-config/*.json
is all that is needed. I decided against putting it in the home directory since its easier to find the files if they're adjacent. Plus then there is no question of write permissions.
Thanks!
Hi Col-E, I'm not trying to be an spammer... I just love your software and I'm trying to give some suggestions.
".recaf" Configuration directory
all the config files (.json) and others, should have their own configuration directory; for example: ".recaf" (dot recaf)
Currently, the "current" directory of "recaf-x.jar" creates a bunch of .json configuration files, generating some "visual noise".
Thanks!
