Files and Directories#
User path#
When Zrythm is launched for the first time, it will also ask you to select a directory for saving your user data. See Zrythm user path for details.
Installed Files#
When Zrythm is installed, it installs the following files by default.
Desktop Entry#
A freedesktop-compliant configuration file
that describes how a particular program should be
launched, how it appears in menus, etc. This is
normally installed at
/usr/share/applications/zrythm.desktop.
GLib Schema#
This file contains the schema for user
configurations. It is normally installed at
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.zrythm.Zrythm.gschema.xml.
Desktop Icon#
This is used by the desktop environment. Normally
installed at
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/zrythm.svg.
Localization Files#
Localization files are installed under
/usr/share/locale. For example,
/usr/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES/zrythm.mo
for Korean.
Samples#
Default audio samples used by Zrythm (such as the
metronome). Normally installed under
/usr/share/zrythm/samples.
Fonts#
Unless your distribution provides packages for the
required fonts, fonts required by Zrythm will
normally be installed under
/usr/share/fonts/zrythm.
GtkSourceView Stylesheets#
Zrythm will install CSS stylesheets to be used by
some text input widgets under
/usr/share/zrythm/sourceview-styles.
Themes#
Default themes (including icon themes) will
normally be installed under
/usr/share/zrythm/themes.
Hint
Zrythm provides ways to override some of these files with user-specified files in the Zrythm user path. See Theming for details.
User Files#
Cached Plugin Descriptors#
Plugin descriptor cache for faster scanning.
This is found at
cached_plugin_descriptors.yaml under the
Zrythm user path.
Plugin Collections#
This file contains your plugin collections.
It is found at
plugin_collections.yaml under the
Zrythm user path.
Plugin Settings#
Located at plugin-settings.yaml under the
Zrythm user path, this is a collection of
per-plugin settings, such as whether to open the
plugin with Carla, the
bridge mode
to use and whether to use a
generic UI.
Note
This file is generated and maintained automatically by Zrythm and users are not expected to edit it.
Log File#
Zrythm will write to a log file on each run inside
the log subdirectory under the
Zrythm user path. The filename will contain
the current date and time, for example
log_2020-06-26_15-34-19.log.
This log file is useful for debugging crashes and other problems.
