programs.hexchat.overwriteConfigFiles

Enables overwriting HexChat configuration files (hexchat.conf, servlist.conf). Any existing HexChat configuration will be lost. Make sure to back up any previous configuration before enabling this.

Enabling this setting is recommended, because everytime HexChat application is closed it overwrites Nix/Home Manager provided configuration files, causing:

  1. Nix/Home Manager provided configuration to be out of sync with actual active HexChat configuration.
  2. Nix/Home Manager updates to be blocked until configuration files are manually removed.
