Where are configuration files stored?

Posted in Fing Documentation.

Fing configuration files are all in the same format: properties format, i.e. a list of declarations like settings=value.

On Linux and OS X, configuration files are placed in /etc/fing , while on Windows they are placed in your application data folder: %APPDATA%\Overlook\Fing\conf. On Windows you also have a shortcut to that folder using Start -> Overlook Fing -> Fing Configuration.

There are a lot of possible customisations that may be performed using the Fing properties file.

As an example, to change the separator used in the Comma-Separated-List export, simply open your fing.properties configuration file and add/edit the setting below.

overlook.fing.formatter.csv.separator = ,
