Feature request: please add a config file option --satoshi-datadir.
In current version it's used only when Armory manage bitcoind. But i want to run Bitcoin-qt and Armory same time.
And it's not comfortable to run Armory from terminal with --satoshi-datadir.
Thanks for your work on Armory anyway.
P.S. My OS - Ubuntu 14.04.


Feature exists already, if you don't like using the command line every time, then you can use the command line to solve that problem Grin


From the Terminal:
Code:
sudo vi /usr/share/applications/armory.desktop

or use nano/emacs if you don't like vi


then edit this line

Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/armory %u

to say this instead

Code:
Exec=/usr/bin/armory --satoshi-datadir=



Save the file, and possibly reboot the machine, please confirm in the thread if a reboot is necessary to pick up the new config (I don't use Linux in anything except VM's... so my system is a little different). If anyone knows an alternative command/script that feeds the new config file to application menu GUI (i.e. removing the necessity of a reboot), please let us know.
