Porymap Settings
****************

Porymap uses config files to read and store user and project settings.
A global settings file is stored in a platform-dependent location for app configuration files 
(``%Appdata%\pret\porymap\porymap.cfg`` on Windows, ``~/Library/Application\ Support/pret/porymap/porymap.cfg`` on macOS).

A config file is also created when opening a project in porymap for the first time. It is stored in
your project root as ``porymap.project.cfg``. There are several project-specific settings that are
determined by this file.
