A simple one. Have a config file with default options so users don't need to specify the same things each time.

/etc/ccextractor would be nice.

In my linux (openSuse) have config file in /home//.config for applications in etc i keep config files of servers and setting for all users, for user specific setting we can use .config folder
or we can give priority to .config folder if config file not found then ccextractor can look in /etc/ccextractor.cnf

Sounds OK. Remember that Windows support is necessary. Probably read the
config file from either the CCExtractor binary directory.

I think that the recommended place for windows would be the binary directory indeed. The only issue here might be that on newer systems editing this file will require administration rights. This is for me the case when I want to edit/modify/copy a file in the directory where CCExtractor 0.69 (with GUI) gets installed (in my case: C:\Program Files (x86)\CCExtractor).
