Re: [Question #90279]: How to make LinuxDC++ preferences common for different users on one machine?

Steven Sheehy proposed the following answer:
Program data is stored in $HOME/.dc++, so each user will have their own
preferences. This is how every program in Linux works (most Windows
programs too). If you want to share preferences you can always move the
.dc++ folder to somewhere where you both have read/write permissions
then create a soft link in both of your home directories to that new
location. However, note that LinuxDC++ does not support two instances
running at the same time with the same preferences, so you would have to
take turns using the program.

If you just wanted to share hash data and not the rest of the
preferences you could do something similar but just with the hash
related files inside .dc++/. Again, do not run multiple instances.
