Where are custom collection's fields stored?
EDIT: My intended question: Where / how are the schemas for custom collections stored?
OLD QUESTION (not clear): Where can I find where GCStar stores my custom collection fields?
I have created a 'Literature Review' collection and I am looking to find the metadata describing the fields. I am running Ubuntu and have checked in the collection's XML itself, and the ~/.config/gcstar directory. I have found ~/.config/gcstar/GCModels/Literature_Review.conf, but it only has some settings related to the collection but no definition of the field types.
Purpose: I would like to access my collections via Python in order to interface them with Google Docs. There's not too much of a practical purpose in it, other than I would like to tinker with this just to get some more programming experience.
Thank you.

Hello,
These fields are stored in the collection itself, so in the .gcs file with all of the data for this collection.

Re: Where are custom collection's fields stored?
Thank you for your response!
However, I have looked through the *.gcs file using a text editor, but I can only see the XML for the collection itself, but not the collection definition.
I do see the *.gcm definition files in /usr/share/gcstar/lib/GCModels, but I cannot find any similar files in the XDG config area nor in the *.gcs file.
One thing is that I am using an older version (1.5.0) - has the collection storage schema changed since then? I have checked out some of the SVN code yesterday and then looked at the Perl modules in /usr/share but did not see a huge difference (though I did not look for long).
Do you know where in the code I can find out how it stores the custom collections?
EDIT: I realized that the wording in my original post might not have been clear.
My intended question was: Where / how are the schemas for custom collections stored? Similar to the *.gcm model definition files.
My apologies!

Should you have a problem using GCstar, you can open a bug report or request some support on GCstar forums.
