Improvments to default directories

Reported by: Nick Draper Owned by: Roman Tolchenov
Priority: major Milestone: Iteration 27
Component: Mantid Keywords:
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Tester: Martyn Gigg

Description

Add a userSearch.Directories key this is for mask files grouping files etc, and would clear the datasearch purely for data files.

You would need to add anther argument to the file property, and enum to select which directory list to use (data, user, None).

You should be able to override these values in the configService in C++ (changes them for this session).

The python interface should allow users to alter these through a settings function on the FrameworkManager.

Perhaps add a save functionality to the ConfigService to save altered values to the user.properties file.

The MantidPlot preferences look okay.

However, I can find no reference to the userSearch.directories key. Is this ticket actually complete?

Key exists in default properties file and can be accessed from Python.

There is no way to modify this from the GUI however. A new ticket has been created surrounding this, see #2431
