Store user configuration in the users home directory.

[petterreinholdtsen]

Creepy is currently designed to run from the source directory and save its plugin configuration in the current directory. When installed by the Debian Package to /usr/share the plugins do not work because creepy does not have the required priviledges there.

This patch reads the configuration from /usr/share and then when writing the new configuration, writes the non-default values to ~/.creepy. Thereafter the configuration is read from both /usr/share and ~/.creepy. This keeps the original configuration file intact and allow default values to change when the package is upgraded without having to edit files in the users home directories.

So there are 2 issues with this 1) There is an error in the newly introduced saveConfiguration() method https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/creepy/commit/6751ee50bd20423db531f818c8f8ac3201564649#diff-e274be06ee3ac274db4677e3ce9746a8R158 should be

for l in self.config[c].keys():

2) Plugins need to call

self.saveConfiguration(self.config)

instead of

self.config.write()

because the latter does not take care of creating the config files in the user's $HOME/.creepy/plugin_name in advance, as the former does. Seems to be working now, I will merge the request with my modifications

Even better, can you modify your pull request to take care of 1) , so I can accept it as is ? Then I will push the changes needed in the plugins.

I have fixed 1) and pushed a replacement commit.
