Setting default delimiter in .qrc config file? about q

[harelba]

Hi,

Thanks for opening this.

Can you check which version of q you're using? It's probably an old one.

The current version is 3.1.6, and contains a fully refactored qrc mechanism.

Here are the relevant links. If things don't work with this new version, please contact me.

Version 3.1.6 Release

Ahhhh.

I'd installed the most recent distro-packed version, both on a Debian box and a Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS workstation, and both got a much older version:

[davidp@supernova:~]$ q -v
q version 1.8

Having upgraded them to a non-prehistoric version (3.1.6 from the .deb download), all is well and the config file is recognised and I don't have to supply the delimiter every time.

Thanks for the prompt response, and thanks for a rather awesome tool!
