tempo's Issues

Configuration file should not be directly in HOME folder

The configuration file :

• seems to be created in home folder with a regular name (which is NOT a good idea - if all programs are doing like this, every home folder would be a mess ...)
• and seems to not be configurable

Hence, as a suggestion :

• under windows, the location should be under ~/.tempo/config.json
• under linux, the location should be under ~/.config/tempo/config.json
  (and lowercase names are probably better)

And/or a --config flag could/should be provided, allowing to override where the config file will be stored.
