No local configuration options in .ovftool

Hello:

I am working in a Windows environment with ovftool 3.01.

When running the ovftool in a directory that contains an ovf and a .ovftool file, the ovftool does not seem to pick up the local configuration file.

> ovftool --help config

This will show as "Currently no local configuration options in .ovftool"

I have tried a number of permutations: ".ovftool", "<name>.ovftool", even "ovftool.cfg" on the off chance it is looking for the global name.

But none of these options work.

When I move the file to C:\Documents and Settings\$USERNAME\VMware\ovftool.cfg, which makes it global, it works just fine. So, I know the file is working.

But I am managing dozens of unique OVAs, and so having the local configuration option would be most helpful.

Am I misnaming the local config? Or is this a known bug or linux-only feature?

Thanks,

Andrew
