[fpc-devel] GetAppConfigFile

Hi,

Why is there a parameter to GetAppConfigFile? I'd suggest something like:

function GetAppConfigFile: string;
begin
   { first look for user specific config file }
   Result := GetAppConfigFile(false);
   if FileExists(Result) then
     exit;
   { otherwise use global one }
   Result := GetAppConfigFile(true);
end;

This would first look for the user version, then for the global variant.

(BTW: instead of Boolean, I would have liked a acLocal, acGlobal better, 
it's clearer to read).

Any thoughts?

Micha
