A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

The last constraint is that we use extensively the `config` helper, so if the user didn't have to see that `conf` folder next to the executable that'd be great (i.e. if the executable was installed in Application for Mac OS X or Program Files for Windows)

I set my app up to resolve its conf folder using the appdirs library <https://github.com/harawata/appdirs>

so do you use this instead of the `config` helper in tornadofx?

```
class MyApp : App(WelcomeView::class) {
    override val configBasePath: Paths.get("/etc/myapp/conf")
}
```

You would use this here, right?

```
    override val configBasePath: Path = Paths.get(URI.create("file://" + AppDirsFactory.getInstance()
            .getUserConfigDir(
                    "digital-raw-sheet",
                    drsProperties.getString("coner-drs.version"),
                    "coner"
            )
))
```

Cool, and so then we can just simply distribute a jar cross platform, and then tell our users to do whatever with it

so we wouldn't need any installers of any kind would we?

because that now the config and the executable are decoupled

That puts the config in a customary location for the runtime OS, decoupled from the executable path

No worries thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

i use the javafx gradle plugin, and it works nicely
