I must be doing something wrong, I use this in the terminal to start Qcad…

`/home/pete/opt/qcad-3.33.1-pro-linux-qt5.14-x86_64/qcad -config /home/pete/.config/QCAD/QCAD_3`

2nd line in the terminal is…

`absConfigFile: "/home/pete/.config/QCAD/QCAD_3"`

and further down I get…

`19:48:09: Debug: openFiles: -config,/home/pete/.config/QCAD/QCAD_3`

but Qcad only reads and writes to the QCAD3.conf file ?
