If john is john (or a symlink to john?) then
- from distro package:
- /etc/john/john.conf
- ~/.john/john.conf
- not from distro package
- the same folder as john, unless --config= option is used (btw it
may useful to make a setting or an option for that; there may be
john profiles to keep settings with johns, and then templates for
profiles... not important though)
If john is not john (and not a symlink?) then anything could happen.
Though strace (or other utility to monitor files opened) may help on
Linux. For example, user may specify a script with
path/to/john --config=... "$@"
or just
path/to/john "$@"
instead of real. The latter may be the case if user wanted to put john
on PATH not adding run/ folder to PATH (but adding a script to PATH
that calls the real john). I am not sure how often it occurs in real
life.
I think if john is a symlink to john then the folder of the symlink is
like run/ . I am not sure though.

Yes, for core there is a one-liner in devnotes.txt . It should be
straight forward to implement it in C++/Qt. It is not important
because core does not add formats often. Though IIRC Solar Designer
added tripcode so the list in current Johnny should outdated.

You may want to compare your original johnny sketch and current johnny
visually (not .ui but the real program). I removed all unimplemented
buttons before release 1.1. Much earlier, I remade Options Page to
follow john's logic. Also I added some buttons.
Thanks!
