RC Config file without standard

Author: WillianBRCreated Jan 24, 2023Updated Jan 24, 2023

I was reading your code and testing your APP. Nice, by the way. Good job.

But, I would like to suggest you to use a standard to name the config file ou Windows and Linux.

If you look deeply in the application on Linux, you'll nitece the names standard. Let say vim and wget.

The global config are:

/etc/wgetrc
/etc/vimrc

The user config are:

$HOME/.bashrc
$HOME/.vimrc

Than my suggestion is name the config files of cow as follow.

The user config:

LINUX

$HOME/.cow/cowrc

WIN

./cowrc

or

%USERPROFILE%/cowrc

The global config:

LINUX

/etc/cowrc

WIN

./cowrc

Windows users may not like, but it's a polited approach!

The new name will avoid collision with others applications.
