Package: imview

Version: 1.1.8-2
Severity: normal


In the FILES section of the man page for imview, there is a
reference that the User preference file can be found at:

    ~/.imview/preferences

However, in actuality, imview creates the following the first time it
is launched:

    ~/.fltk/hugues.talbot_csiro.au/imview.prefs

and it also creates an empty directory called 'imview'.

I would suggest changing the package so that, as the man suggests, a
file called 'preferences' is created in the .imview directory of the
user's home.  This is far easier to find and understand than
.fltk/hugeus/talbot_csiro.au, which in itself gives no clues to the
user as to what it is used for.
