Would a lock be enough? So that only one user can write to the config file? I don't see how I'm supposed to tell the difference between user A and user B starting DCP-o-matic if they both use the same account...

IN THE MOMENT THAT YOU INSTALL THE SOFTWARE , IT SHOUD ASK WHERE INSTALL THE FILE CONFIG.XML

OR (ONCE INSTALLED )MAYBY IN MENU PREFERENCE THE USER CAN TO DEFINE OR MODIFY THE PLACE TO FIND THE FILE CONFIG.XML (it way is god)

IN THIS WAY , ONE O MORE USER CAN TO MODIFY THE FILE CONFIG.XML
ONE USER CON TO GENERATE DCP AND OTHER GENERATE KDM IN OTHER PC

IN THE MOMENT THAT YOU INSTALL THE SOFTWARE , IT SHOUD ASK WHERE INSTALL
THE FILE CONFIG.XML

So it goes like this:

  1. Install the software; specify config.xml location as c:\foo\config.xml
  2. User A starts the software: it uses c:\foo\config.xml
  3. User B starts the software: it uses c:\foo\config.xml

How does that help anybody?

OR (ONCE INSTALLED )MAYBY IN MENU PREFERENCE THE USER CAN TO DEFINE OR MODIFY THE PLACE TO FIND THE FILE
CONFIG.XML (it way is god)

That would be feasible.

IN THIS WAY , ONE O MORE USER CAN TO MODIFY THE FILE CONFIG.XML
ONE USER CON TO GENERATE DCP AND OTHER GENERATE KDM IN OTHER PC

Can you say why these two users need different configurations?

in Mexico, we work with foreign movies , and we make the subtitles.
so, alway we received encrypted movies. and a DKDM for our PC.

so

1)a user generate a new subtitle for DCP newcomer call " my movie I"

2) a user generate, kdm's for other movie call " my movie II"

both are using the same config file , beacouse the movie "my movie II"
was generated with the same cert that my movie I

two user are working the same time

I do it ,
but sometimes two user in different Pc, generate kdm, and If an user add new cinema
the other need add also. it is double work
in the real life , the cinemas change server or card IMB all the time , this is very common

In recent test versions you can specify the location of the file containing cinema and screen definitions. Is that enough to solve your problem?

I've added back-end support for a link in ~/.config/dcpomatic2/config.xml to another file, just needs a GUI.
