View source for Application.ini File

== Setting up the application.ini file ==

XULRunner first looks at the application.ini file located at the root directory.  This file contains metadata which tells XULRunner how to run the application properly.  This file typically contains [Headings] and Key=Values pairs.  Also, any line which begin with characters "#" or ";" are treated as comments.

The application.ini file contains two sections.  They are the following with surrounding square brackets:


'''[App]''' Section - This section of the file contains data about the application
