Before every contest I created a contest subdirectory, copy files to there, step to that directory, and start Tlf, eg: ls -la ~/.tlf/wpx total 112 drwxrwxr-x 3 airween airween 4096 may 28 20:51 . drwxrwxr-x 29 airween airween 4096 sept 15 14:32 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 airween airween 11 may 27 22:50 .bmdata.dat -rw-rw-r-- 1 airween airween 37190 may 28 20:52 HA2OS.cbr -rw-rw-r-- 1 airween airween 4028 may 26 03:37 logcfg.dat -rw-rw-r-- 1 airween airween 523 may 28 20:52 .paras drwxrwxr-x 2 airween airween 4096 may 26 03:36 rules -rw-rw-r-- 1 airween airween 26 may 28 20:52 tlfmarkers -rw-rw-r-- 1 airween airween 40480 may 27 22:50 wpx.log Hope this helps.
