## 3 Nomad or not nomad

iMule uses configuration files for keeping many informations. These files can be kept either in the user's home folder or in iMule's installation folder. The latter case is called "nomad", because you can then install iMule on a removable disk and launch it from any computer with the same configuration. iMule tests the existence of a file called "thisIsImuleConfigDir" in its install directory in order to decide which configuration directory it should use. If the file does not exist, then a subdirectory of the user's home directory will be used.

By default, iMule is nomad. You can change this either by removing the file "thisIsImuleConfigDir" before running iMule, or by launching iMule, unchecking the "nomad" option in the Preferences tab, and stopping/relaunching iMule.
