For our users we offer Beyond Compare 4.1.5 on Linux using a shared networked installation directory. This means that every user uses the same installation. I understand that Beyond Compare stores a personal configuration cache in ~/$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bcompare or ~/.config/bcompare.
I would like to know how configurations settings are transmitted from the installation to a user's cache. For example what would happen if we change a default configuration option (e.g. indentation) in the installation? Would that get applied for all users as well or do they have to clean their personal configuration cache first?
Similarly, what would happen if we upgrade the version of the application? Can Beyond Compare handle configuration changes for both minor and major version upgrades? What would happen with a user's personal configuration cache?
