config.json or config_MyWidget.json

Hi,

I've built a widget, in the Guide they tell to use the config.json file located in the widget folder (widgets/MyWidget/config.json)

But in my app, the config informations seems to be read from configs/MyWidget/config_MyWidget.json.

When i use the builder with my new widget and set diferents properties in the settings panel and then export the app, the modification are write in configs/MyWidget/config_MyWidget.json and not in widgets/MyWidget/config.json.

I'm a little bit confused, witch file should i use?

thanks!

As the widget developer you should add all your configuration parameters to the widgets config.json and once the widget is deployed it makes the copy of that json and places it in the config a folder once the user saves thief configuration of the widget.
