Description

Hello,

I can't see any possibility to change the filepath post setup.

It would be useful to be able to change the default filepath for settings.xml after the setup.

I know one can use a custom file but it is not tied to the little disk icon in top right side of the panel

thanks

Research direction

Start by locating ofxPanel's settings.xml handling and the top-right disk icon behavior. Confirm how a post-setup path should be selected and persisted, then verify that the icon uses the changed path.
