dont require writing to the home directory

I want to run this on my unraid machine in cli mode as nobody but it looks like the program wants to create a settings file in a home directory. My server does not have real users as its a file server to there is no home directories. I want to be able to have it just look in the directory the app is in or set where the settings file is in the command when run.

Are you running it from a shell?

Can you do something like the following?

Code:

HOME=. comictagger.py --version

The code just tries to use "~", and I am pretty sure that is based on the $HOME environment variable. Give it a shot, and post back.

That indeed works, just not sure how i can incorporate that into my setup if I use comictagger as part of a script.

Just set HOME in your script, and you're all set.

Unless I'm missing something...
