Notes about configuration of reflector-simple

configuration file /etc/reflector-simple.conf is supported
if /etc/reflector-simple.conf exists, the GUI uses it by default
configuration file can contain options supported by the reflector command. Use command reflector -h for more info

Additional old compatibility notes

for backwards compatibility, configuration file /etc/reflector-auto.conf is still supported, but will no more be supported after year 2020.
if file /etc/reflector-simple.conf exists, then /etc/reflector-auto.conf is not used

Operational changes

Version 1.15.2-1 changed reflector-simple by changing the setting Max number of mirrors (which uses reflector's --number option) to Max number of freshed mirrors (uses reflector's --latest option).

The old behaviour can be achieved by using an environment variable REFLECTOR_SIMPLE_PREFER_NUMBER with value "yes", e.g.

REFLECTOR_SIMPLE_PREFER_NUMBER=yes reflector-simple

Version 1.16.1-1 changed the method of finding the country code of a user. Now user can change the value of variable REFLECTOR_SIMPLE_COUNTRY_METHOD in file /etc/reflector-simple-tool.conf and see what's the best (=fastest) method (number from 0 to 5) of fetching the country code. This may have a great effect on how quickly reflector-simple shows its first window when started.

Tips

import reflector options from another configuration file with a normal reflector syntax: @/path/to/another/config.conf
to exclude a country from ranking, use option --country-exclude (this option is not found in reflector)
