Configuration

By default, the configuration file is located in ~/.config/outspline/outspline.conf. A different file can be used by launching Outspline with the -c flag; see Usage for details. The file will be created with the default values the first time that Outspline is run.

Core options

[Log]

log_level_stdout = 1: Verbosity of stdout log messages; 0 disabled; 1 essential reports; 2 normal verbosity; 3 debug mode.

log_level_file = 0: Verbosity of file log messages; 0 disabled; 1 essential reports; 2 normal verbosity; 3 debug mode.

log_file = ~/.config/outspline/outspline.log: The path to the log file to be used.

[Save]

default_extension = osl: The Outspline file extension to be considered as default.

[History]

The history of the edits to a database is kept limited to a certain number of actions. When a new action is done, only the soft_limit most recent actions are kept, plus any exceeding actions that were done in the last time_limit minutes, but still discarding the oldest ones if the resulting number of actions to keep exceeds hard_limit. When closing a database, all the actions, except for the soft_limit most recent ones, are purged. The soft_limit is stored in the properties of each database, while time_limit and hard_limit are defined globally in the configuration file.

default_soft_limit = 60: This is the soft_limit that is saved in the properties of each database upon creation, and can be viewed and changed there.

time_limit = 15: When a new action is done, the actions done in the last number of minutes defined here will be kept, unless their total number exceeds hard_limit.

hard_limit = 120: The number of actions saved in the history of an open database will never exceed this number.

Addons

All addons are enabled by default, but you can use the enabled option to disable some; note that disabling an addon that is required by another that is left enabled will result in Outspline refusing to start and raising a dependency error.

Interfaces

See Configuration: Interfaces.

Keyboard shortcuts

The wxgui interface supports two groups of keyboard shortcuts, which are documented separately:

• global shortcuts correspond to actions in the main menu, and are always available.
• contextual shortcuts are available only if certain parts of the interface have focus, and allow easy mouseless navigation, besides providing simpler shortcuts as alternatives to the global ones. Note that contextual shortcuts are disabled by default.

Note that some key combinations cannot be used because of upstream limitations. See also #349.
