Where does finicky store the path to the config file? about finicky HOT 5 OPEN

The other issue is that it seems it can't use a symlink as the config file setting, making using nix home-manager difficult.

If it helps anyone else coming here for the same thing, I ended up just hacking a little around it.

  home.file.".config/finicky" = {
    source = ./finicky;
    onChange = "cat ~/.config/finicky/fincky.js > ~/.finicky.js";
  };

from finicky.

It's a constant in the code => /Finicky/Finicky/Config.swift
I think you can't do what you want...

Interestingly, there is a way to "Use another file..." from the menu bar drop down. If you add a different config file location through that UI, and then run the command:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c print ~/Library/Preferences/net.kassett.finicky.plist

It clearly shows that file being stored in some encoded way. Beyond my MacFu to understand how to get that set programmatically.

Thanks for this! This might be even better:

{config, ...}: let
  filePath = "finicky/config.js";
in {
  xdg.configFile.${filePath} = {
    source = ./config.js;
    onChange = "cat ${config.xdg.configHome}/${filePath} > ${config.home.homeDirectory}/.finicky.js";
  };
}
