where is a default config? about onedrive

[yn-coder]

Same problem.

I've manually copy the config file from ~\onedrive to ~\.config\onedrive (this is a default place) - now working well.

Problem is onedrive doesn't create the config file in .config\onedrive\ after first start. May be bug?

The config file for the application resides in ~/.config/onedrive/ as a file called config

This file does not get created by default, and should only be created if you want to change the 'default' operational parameters.

Please Note:
Proceed with caution here by changing the default sync dir from ~/OneDrive to ~/library

The issue here is around how the client was originally coded & how the relative paths are stored in the database. If the config file is missing, or you don't use the sync_dir parameter - what will happen is the client will 'think' that either all your data has been deleted - thus delete the content on OneDrive, or will start downloading all data from OneDrive into the default location.

Now - with this being said:

To make your own configuration file to override the defaults:

vi ~/.config/onedrive/config

File contents:

sync_dir="~/library"

This should get you going in terms of setting the configuration for different sync location - however in testing this - it appears that it is not working as it should be, so looks like this is a bug when using the config file for the sync_dir option & when passing in the --syncdir from the command line.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I'll try to test it.

About config - I think you need to write it in docs. Thank you.

Updated the readme file to clarify usage, warning and provide examples.
