The .lspostrc file stores information regarding the LS-PrePost configuration. This file is only present if the user saves a configuration that is different from the defaults within LS-PrePost.
LS-PrePost searches through these three locations in order, options set in location 1 will be overwritten if found in location 2 and overwritten again if found in location 3. Note this is at the option level and so if different options are set in different locations LS-PrePost will use them all instead of defaults. Any options not found in user defined .lspostrc files will be set to default automatically by LS-PrePost.
Tip: When updating to a new version of LS-PrePost, you may want to delete your old configuration file (or at least refresh the “menu_page” lines) to make sure you are taking advantage of any new features.
