Problem reading user config file in default location

[Cirieno]

I want to change the filename format slightly, but I'm having a problem getting tvnamer to read the user config file without explicitly calling it as a parameter every time.

I've followed the advice to place the file at ~/.config/tvnamer/tvnamer.json and for testing I included just the one example value { "language": "fr" }.

I'm finding that tvnamer --p does not pick up the change to the config file, however tvnamer --p --config=~/.config/tvnamer/tvnamer.json does pick up the value from the test config file.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Hmm, that's strange - can you check you are running tvnamer version 3? The ~/.config/tvnamer/tvnamer.json config location was added in that version

If you check the output of tvnamer --version it should say

Hmm, it looks like 2.5-1 as per the Mint Software Manager. apt-get install tvnamer reveals the same version. I'm literally a few days into learning how to Linux after being Windows forever, so if it's not packaged I'm a little bit at a loss. This tracker also points out the software manager is behind.

I have the same problem.

My version is 3.0.4, I have ~/.config/tvnamer/tvnamer.json.

When I execute:
tvnamer -c ~/.config/tvnamer/tvnamer.json -p

and I execute:
tvnamer -p

Same result and I change tvnamer.json { "language": "en" }

Don't load my config file
