[Ipe-discuss] two comment on preview 17

[Kostas Oikonomou]

Hi Ottfried,

I just installed preview 17 on Solaris.  I tried to make one small change in the code:
I would like the ~/.ipekeys.qm file to be in ~/.ipe/ipekeys.qm instead.  This limits the
number of places where Ipe code is on the system.
So I edited src/ipemodel/ipeprefs.cpp like this:

#ifdef WIN32
   iPrefsFileName = home.filePath("_ipecfg");
   iKeysFileName = home.filePath("_ipekeys.qm");
#else
   iPrefsFileName = home.filePath(".iperc");
   //iKeysFileName = home.filePath(".ipekeys.qm");
   iKeysFileName = home.filePath(".ipe/ipekeys.qm");
#endif

However, this didn't work.  When Ipe started up, it didn't find ~/.ipe/ipekeys.qm.
I don't understand why.

Also, it seems that the Message Window is no longer in version 17.  I found that
very helpful for debugging.
