Desktop app configuration

Configuring the app with an options.ini file

To configure the Desktop App, place an options.ini file in the same directory as the executable (macOS or Windows), alternatively the file can be stored in a parent directory.

The available options are:

## Default values for sign-in

# Sets the default value for the server field
defaultServer=somewhere.bipsync.com

# Sets the default value for the email address field
[email protected]

# Sets the default value for the password field
defaultPassword=super-secret-password

# If true, the app will attempt to automatically sign in on start-up.
autoSignin=true

# If true the app will default to Low Data Mode
defaultLowDataMode=true

#
trustedCertificateAuthorityCertificate=/path/to/certificate.pem

## Proxy support

# Enable proxy usage
proxyEnabled=true

# Specify proxy type: http, https, socks, socks4, socks5, pac+http
proxyType=http

# Specify your proxy address as host:port
proxyAddress=proxyhost:1080
# Authenticated proxy
proxyAddress=username:password@proxyhost:1080
# PAC file proxy, with proxyType=pac+http
proxyAddress=proxypachost:1080/proxy.pac
# Any part of the proxy address can be set via environment variable substitution
# This requires app version 23.1
proxyAddress=$USERNAME$@proxyhost:1080
