Setup file
The setup file contains the information about which config file to use for the software.
The idea is that you could switch between different setup. Each setup could have a different folder structure and naming convention. By using the different setup files you can separate them completely.
The file is stored in your local user home directory
Linux/Mac
~/.das-element/setup.ini
Windows
%USERPROFILE%/.das-element/setup.ini
If you want to force the creation of a new setup, simply delete the setup file.
When the config file defined in the setup file is not access able, the startup screen will appear.
