Hi all
First of all, thanks for making Armory! I've been using it as my main wallet for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. An offline wallet with a paper backup makes me sleep so much better
.
I've changed the configuration of my system to run bitcoind as a service. This means that the bitcoind service starts as soon as my OS boots, and as a consequence it's always up-to-date when I want to use it.
It's running as its own user "bitcoinuser" and it stores the data files in /home/bitcoinuser/.bitcoin/, which means Armory needs to look in that directory.
Currently this is only possible by specifying it as a command line option, which means I need to edit the Armory .desktop files in /usr/share/applications every time I update Armory (since these are overwritten).
It'd be much easier if I could just specify this directory in the Armory settings, so that they're saved along all my other settings in ~/.armory/ and I won't need to update any files after updating Armory.

You can set it in the settings. Switch to advanced view perhaps?
Which doesn't allow me to specify the bitcoin datadir unless I let Armory manage bitcoind, which I don't want it to do.
But I guess this only makes it a matter of enabling that text box regardless of whether Armory manages running bitcoind or not.
