Storing joystick configuration

There's one thing I've discovered when I started getting more familiar with Oolite's innards, that I found a touch unusual, particularly given the usual approach this game takes to configuration.

I don't seem to be able to locate where (or how) Oolite saves its joystick-mapping...

Maybe (read: probably) it's just me, but I've been poking around in various folders for a while now, and I've taken a not-very-serious look around the source in a few likely places to see if I could find an answer to this question, but with zero success...

which I guess leads to my other question:-

How is it that this seems to be the only configurable item in Oolite that isn't governed by a plist?

Joystick settings are stored in the GNUstep preferences system. Conveniently, this shiny new wiki page explains how to edit it.

wow.. :shock: talk about 'ask and ye shall receive'.. only made yesterday.. how cool is that?

Thanks Ahruman!

Now I won't have to re-program my joystick every time I change to a new trunk build. :D
