Could you please change the code so that the settings file is not created directly under the users home directory? Something like ~/.bt747/bt747settings.pdb would be better. Or at least prefix the settings file with an dot, so that it isn't show in a directory listing.

Thanks for the great app! :-)

Looking at the source

Looking at the source (J2SEAppController.java) I found a workaround:

Simply invoke bt747 with "-Dbt747_settings=/home/<user>/.bt747settings.pdb" to set the configuration file to something different.
