Is there a way to change the location of .tracker.prefs #34

I'm trying to use this in a guest session setting for school computers running linux. Is there a way to set the location of the preferences file other than in /opt/tracker/.tracker.prefs? The issue is that I'm getting "File cannot be overwritten.: /opt/tracker/.tracker.prefs". Should I just change file permissions? (I'm a new to linux, so excuse the noob level question here)

Sorry, there is currently no way to set the location of the preferences file to the default /opt/tracker/. You should be able to change the permissions using sudo.
