Cumulus.ini (preserving history)
The cumulus.ini configuration file is a text file containing initialization parameters used by the Cumulus application. It is located in the directory in which you installed Cumulus and is updated whenever you change any configuration parameters from the application configuration pages. Cumulus also re-writes the file when it shuts down, so if you want to edit the file yourself, make sure Cumulus is stopped.
