QuantDesk_UI Configuration #24

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
A configuration dialog and supporting functionality should be created for the 
QuantDesk Integrated Desktop Application.

Configuration will be stored in a plain text *.properties file (possibly a part 
of the configuration - in the DB; see below) that will be expected in the same 
directory where the application jar-file is located. If the application cannot 
find the properties file, it should create the default properties file (with 
all default values). If a property is absent in the property file, then 
application will add this property with the default value.

There should be a dialog (accessed via "Tools | Options" from the main menu) in 
the GUI to allow the user to change the preferences.

If a database is used (which we most probably are going to implement in the 
future), then almost all properties can be stored in the database. However at 
least one property - location of the database - should be stored outside, thus 
we need the properties file anyway.
