The location of the settings and preferences depends on your Operating System:
For Windows, they will be stored in the system Registry. These will be in the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dewtronics\KingJamesPureBibleSearch key.
Run the “regedit” tool to locate them.
For Mac, they are stored in the user's home folder in the file:
~/Library/Preferences/com.dewtronics.KingJamesPureBibleSearch.plist
It's a compressed text file that many free editor programs out there, like
TextWrangler, can edit.
For Linux, they are stored in the user's home folder in the file:
~/.config/Dewtronics/KingJamesPureBibleSearch.com
This is a plain text file editable by any editor like gedit, kedit, nano, joe, vim, etc.
Note: These locations may vary depending on your Operating System
configuration.
To make this more secure (and not leave “footprints”), two Stealth Modes are
provided with King James Pure Bible Search. One mode is actually called
“Stealth Mode” and causes it to not store any preferences or program state
information in long term Persistent Settings at all. That is, it will disable writing of
this file (or registry) entirely. This mode is activated by passing the “-stealth”
argument on the command-line when running King James Pure Bible Search:
Windows Example:
.\KJVPureBibleSearch\KJVCanOpener\app\KingJamesPureBibleSear
ch -stealth
(run from within the top-level folder where you copied the
files to, or else you should use the full path instead of
".\")
Mac Example:
./KingJamesPureBibleSearch.app/Contents/MacOs/KingJamesPureB
ibleSearch -stealth &
(run from within the folder where the bundle is located, or
else you should use the full path instead of "./")
Linux Example:
./kjvpurebiblesearch/KJVCanOpener/app/KingJamesPureBibleSear
ch -stealth &
(run from within the top-level folder where you copied the
files to, or else you should use the full path instead of
"./")
Note that you can create System Shortcuts, Shell Scripts, and/or Batch Files to
launch it. The official King James Pure Bible Search distribution CD comes with
Shell Scripts and Batch Files to launch Stealth Mode on the CD. These can be
copied and modified if needed to run on other devices.
