Now using config.json with JSON format

[aknari]

I had a problem in the initialization of the plasmoid, when starting the session, which could be reproduced by executing "plasmashell --replace". It happened because the plasmoid tried to read the config.conf file as if it were a JSON formatted file, which is not the case. The problem as in the writing of the configuration file, which is now renamed to 'config.json' in the same directory and written in JSON format. The old 'config.conf' file may be safely removed.

Can't reproduce this.
Is there anything unusual in your config?
Some input fields in the settings aren’t validated, so entering certain characters, like an extra quote, can break the config.

The old 'config.conf' file may be safely removed.

How about:

apdatifier/package/contents/tools/sh/vars

Line 26 in 9de6729

source $config

The configuration file uses this simple key="value" format because it is sourced directly by a Bash script.
