Bug Description

On a system with qpdfview installed the man page mentions the config file for the main configuration of qpdfview but omits ~/.config/qpdfview/shortcuts.conf and the config files for the various plugins but in ubuntu at least are in different pacakges. If someone reads the manpage and wants to sync the config from two computers after reading the man page if they only grab ~/.config/qdpfview/qpdfview.conf and only sync that and not the other files in ~/.config/qpdfview/ they might be wondering why the shortcuts are not synced as the way the manpage is written implies there is only one config file.

quoting the manpage
   qpdfview uses a configuration file usually located at
              "~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf".
This is quite easy to make clearer

If was qpdfview uses configuration files usually located at ~/.config/qpdfview/*

For the main configuration file ~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf.

This is more accurate and will hoepfully not have someone wondering "why are my keyboard shortcuts not syncing?" This is a minor thing but I do see this as a slight improvment.

Hello,

I extended the manual page to indicate that "qpdfview.conf" is just the main file and that we also store persistent state (bookmarks, tabs, per-file settings) in an SQLite database usually located at "~/.local/share/data/qpdfview/qpdfview" as well.

Best regards, Adam.
