💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to CONFCLERK(1) — this is the manual page for ConfClerk, your offline conference schedule app. That's it, that's the name. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

confclerk

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, ConfClerk is an application written in Qt, and what it does is make conference schedules available offline. Iconic, honestly. 💅

It shows you the conference schedule in all these different views, it lets you search on all kinds of stuff (speaker, speech topic, location, etc.), and — the best part — it lets you pick your favorite events and build your very own personal schedule. Main character energy fr fr. 👑

At the moment, ConfClerk can import schedules in XML format created by the PentaBarf conference management system (or frab), which is used by, like, FOSDEM, DebConf, FrOSCon, Grazer Linuxtage, and the CCC. Also compatible systems like Summit, Wafer, or pretalx. So many conferences, so little time. 😭

Fun little origin story: ConfClerk was originally targeted at mobile devices like the Nokia N810 and N900, but ngl it works on any system running Qt. Glow-up complete. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

None.

Like, genuinely none. There are no flags. There is no -h. There is no --version. It's giving minimalist. You just run it and it's a GUI. Periodt. 🙈

🌸 CONFIGURATION 🌸

The configuration can be done via the graphical interface. (Yes, clicking things. Very demure, very mindful. 🎀)

The configuration is saved in the default QSettings location, i.e.:

Linux

~/.config/Toastfreeware/ConfClerk.conf

Windows

In the registry (search for the Toastfreeware key — should be at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Toastfreeware\ConfClerk).

Other OS

Cf. the QSettings documentation at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsettings.html#platform-specific-notes.

🗂️ FILES 🗂️

ConfClerk keeps its database in the location proposed by the XDG Base Directory specification, over at https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html.

So the configuration (see "CONFIGURATION") is stored at ~/.config/Toastfreeware/ConfClerk.conf, and the database is kept at:

~/.local/share/data/Toastfreeware/ConfClerk/ConfClerk.sqlite (Qt4)
~/.local/share/Toastfreeware/ConfClerk/ConfClerk.sqlite (Qt5)
Note the difference bestie!! Qt4 has that extra data/ folder in there, Qt5 does not. Do not come for me, that's just how it is. 💀
