<h2>Configuration</h2>

<p>The configuration is saved as an XML file in your homedirectory, with the
name <span class="file">.camstream</a>. This in itself isn't very
interesting, but in case of trouble you know where to look. 

<p>What's more interesting to know is that each device has its own
configuration. If you have 2 (different) webcams, the configuration of each
webcam is stored, including all the snapshot settings. Next time you
start the program the settings are sought with the device, even if they 
have a different device node (which can happen in the case of hot-pluggable
devices like USB webcams). Only if you have 2 exactly the same devices this
logic may fail.

<p>The file contains your FTP passwords un-encrypted or un-scrambled, so
CamStream writes the file away with mode 0600, so only your user ID may read
or write the file.
