The configuration is saved as an XML file in your homedirectory, with the
name .camstream. This in itself isn't very
interesting, but in case of trouble you know where to look.
What's more interesting to know is that each device has its own
configuration. If you have 2 (different) webcams, the configuration of each
webcam is stored, including all the snapshot settings. Next time you
start the program the settings are sought with the device, even if they
have a different device node (which can happen in the case of hot-pluggable
devices like USB webcams). Only if you have 2 exactly the same devices this
logic may fail.
The file contains your FTP passwords un-encrypted or un-scrambled, so
CamStream writes the file away with mode 0600, so only your user ID may read
or write the file.
