[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65499] Use separate GUI settings for Octave releases

[Torsten Lilge]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #65499 (group octave):

This seems to be more complicated than I thought. Since cset
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ad014fc78bd6 there is no single
settings object which is created at startup and provided by the resource
manager later on. This single object could have been defined with a different
path, depending on an environment variable. Instead, each time the settings
file has to be accessed, a settings object is created with the standard
constructor that generates the path from the company and application name,
which are both set at startup.

Depending on an environment variable, one could change the application name,
leading to a different file name of the settings file at the same location as
the default file. But a completely different path can not be set.
