Chapter 5. The QM Configuration File

QM allows you to set up a per-user configuration file that contains your personal preferences, defaults, and settings.

The configuration file is named $HOME/.qmrc. On Windows, you may have to set the HOME environment variable manually.

The QM configuration file is a plain text file, with a format similar to that used in Microsoft Windows .INI files. It is divided into sections by headings in square brackets. Three sections are supported: [common] contains configuration variables common to all the QM tools, while [test] contains configuration variables specific to QMTest. Within each section, configuration variables are set using the syntax variable=value.

Here is a sample QM configuration file:


> cat ~/.qmrc
[common]
browser=/usr/local/bin/mozilla
