wxFileConfig : save to local config file

[wim delvaux]

Hi all,

I want to save to a configfile in the current directory (".").

I tried with

wxFileConfig( "A", "B", wxEmptyString, "./LocalFile" );

and

wxFileConfig( "A", "B", "./LocalFile" );

all to no avail.

the file is saved always in HOME directory under LINUX.

How can I do this ?

I believe that the problem is in the definition of "current directory".
Attached please find my routine for reading config file(s) from
different places.
I suggest to put the directory you like in a string, maybe to update it
upon savin,
and anyhow, use one of the directories delivered by wxStandardPaths, as
shown below.

Good luck

wxStandardPaths S;

if(wxFile::Exists(m_oldFileName))

pAutoConfig = new wxFileConfig("ESA_MEAS", // AppName
