marker path

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First, thank you so much for the excellent job you’ve done with Gmap.
I have a small request, maybe you can solve my pb.
Right now I use Gmap markers file from the location of maps file which is used. 
 D:\GMapcatcher\.GMapCatcher\..
But if you install Gmap in network, all my family can access the map's folder 
and they have their own installation on their computer
So how I can configure the soft to use the marker file from their installation 
and not the one from the folder where is store the map ?
I need to use markers file as unique user but with a share drive for maps.

Thank you so much for your help and congratulation for the soft.

The ".GMapCatcher" directory has multiple items inside, for example in a 
default installation you will have :
 - markers = file with all your map markers
 - locations = file with all the locations searched
 - tiles = directory with the map tiles
 - sat_tiles = directory with the satellite tiles

In "Settings" > "Custom Maps Directory" you can change the location of 
".GMapCatcher" directory to anything you want, that will change the location 
for all the items I listed above.

yes, i have understood that, but it wasn't my question. I have installed Gmap 
on each computer on C: drive. So like that ,maps, marker, location, tiles, 
sat_tiles, all of them are in the folder C:\GMapcatcher\.GMapcatcher\ ... but 
I have moved the folder d:\.GMapcatcher\ on a network drive 
And i have configured Gmap's settings for each computer to focus on this Maps 
folder. 
Like that, everytime someone is using GMap, the software store the new pic on 
the share folder.

But the pb i have is with the markers 
Each time someone is adding new marker I see it also. I would like if it's 
possible to use the markers file from the one who is install on the C: drive, 
and not the one on the network drive

I hope i was more clear with this explanation.

a solution would be to modify the path of markers file.
How can i do that ? to use a markers file on the main installation folder but 
with no mandatory link with the maps folder.

Currently markers, locations and map tiles folder all must be in a common 
directory.
You will need to modify the project to read the markers from a different 
location

These are some good starting points:

http://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/source/browse/trunk/gmapcatcher/mapConf.py
