# config-ui

## Synopsis

     qbs config-ui [--settings-dir <directory>] [--system]

## Description

Opens the Qbs Settings application for managing Qbs settings, such as preferences and profiles, in a hierarchical view. This makes it easier to manage a large number of settings than using the config command from the command line.

For more information, see Configuring Profiles and Preferences.

## Options

### `--settings-dir <directory>`

Reads all settings (such as profile information) from the specified `<directory>`. If the directory does not exist, it will be created.

The default value is system-specific. For example:

- Linux: `$HOME/.config/QtProject/qbs`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\QtProject\qbs`
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Preferences/qbs`

### `--system`

Instructs the tool to work on the system-level settings. Otherwise, the user-level settings are presented.

### `--help|-h|-?`

Displays help for the command.
