Dash-Qt.conf help

I'm trying to run dash-qt in a different datadir. I also want to specify a different location from the standard conf file. It appears the standard conf file is ~/.config/Dash/Dash-Qt.conf

I run dash-qt -datadir=/mydir -conf=Dash-Qt.conf

However, dash-qt always uses ~/.config/Dash/Dash-Qt.conf

Even if I delete MY Dash-Qt.conf in /mydir dash will helpfully create an empty file, but then it still uses ~/.config/Dash/Dash-Qt.conf

How do I force dash to use /mydir/Dash-Qt.conf ?
 
I'm not familiar with Dash-Qt.conf but as far as I know it's only for the gui, ie. it's a Qt configuration file and not a dash client configuration file. The one you need should be ~/.dash/dash.conf
 
~/.config/Dash/Dash-Qt.conf is a predefined config file which QSettings class uses to store Qt specific params, you can't change that.

For dash specific settings you can use default dash.conf file inside /mydir/ or specify -conf=myfilename.conf to use that file instead.

Thanks! I'm probably doing it wrong. I want to specify a SOCKS proxy on the Qt client.

1. What file do I use to launch the Qt client? I'm using dash-qt

2. What config file / command line parameter do I use to specify an alternative config file that tells Qt I want to use SOCKS?

1. Yes, dash-qt is the right one.
2. Edit dash.conf in your /mydir/ folder and add
Code: 
proxy=ip:port
("ip" and "port" should be replaced by actual settings of course) or you can use command line - add
Code: 
-proxy=ip:port
at the end of it. Most settings in dash.conf and command line are shared between dashd/-cli and dash-qt. See Help -> Command-line options for more info.
