HOW to configure Xournal to delete by stroke by default

favorite












I have been using the software Xournal extensively in the last 15 years, under various operating systems, and lately as a virtual board in class (which I export to pdf for the student after class).



One very useful feature is the "delete strokes" mode of the eraser, which is not the default mode. I would like this option to be selected by default (to save 3 seconds every time I start xournal). I tried to save the option "as default" and to "save preferences" without success. Some other features DO seem to be saved and recovered from the preferences, but not this one. I tried to download the source code and to edit it, but got a bit lost in it.



Is there an easy way to configure Xournal to delete by stroke by default?

          With the help from my favorite system administrators, we found the following hack which totally solves my problem (albeit a more elegant solution is still welcome!):




          • On Debian, the configuration file of Xournal (created after selecting
            "save preferences" at least once) is in file:~/.xournal/config



          • The option is in line 121"



            # default eraser mode (standard = 0, whiteout = 1, strokes = 2)



          • Replacing 0 by 2 does the trick



            eraser_mode=2
