The path of JOE's ini file can be parameterized

Current Situation

• The configuration file scheduler_editor.ini is stored in the config folder of the program data directory that is specified during the JOE setup.
• This works fine for users with an individual program data directory for their computer. However, this does not reflect a situation where multiple users share the same computer.

Desired Behavior

• If multiple users work on the same computer, e.g. a terminal server, then they should be able to use the scheduler_editor.ini file individually.
• Windows
  • In addition to using the %SCHEDULER_DATA%\config folder JOE should check if an individual settings file exists in the %AppData%\sos-berlin.com\joe folder. %SCHEDULER_DATA% corresponds to %ProgramData%\sos-berlin.com\joe or the path specified during installation of JOE.
    • Should this folder not exist then no error is raised.
    • Should this folder exist then the scheduler_editor.ini file is use from this folder.
  • JOE stores the scheduler_editor.ini file to the folder that it has been found on start-up.
• Unix
  • The same behavior as for Windows applies with the $HOME environment variable being used.
