+# if the configuration directory has been copied from the dataset to
+# another location, either because the dataset is readonly and an r/w copy
+# is desired, or for performance reasons. This records the original moved
+# location before copy, to allow path translation computations. For
+# example if a dataset originally indexed as '/home/me/mydata/config' has
+# been mounted to '/media/me/mydata', and the GUI is running from a copied
+# configuration, orgidxconfdir would be '/home/me/mydata/config', and
+# curidxconfdir (as set in the copied configuration) would be
