Hi,

at the moment, the directory for the extcap binaries is defined at
compile time.

When I first tried extcap a year ago, I created a patch to make the
extcap directory a preference. This was much easier for me to handle
when I played with several extcaps that needed frequent recompiling.

I'd like to resurrect this patch. Thoughts?

Best regards,
Martin
+1 too


+1. I was thinking about adding a location in the profile folder (like for
plugins) but making it configurable might be even better.

It not already in About window ?

Pascal.
