Use native .runelite directory in flatpak? #46

Closed dakota-marshall closed 2 weeks ago

dakota-marshall commented 2 weeks ago

Sorry if its a dumb question, but is it possible to have the flatpak version of RuneLite use the ~/.runelite instead of ~/.var/app/com.adamcake.Bolt/data/bolt-launcher/.runelite?

This is mainly for easier access to screenshots, so otherwise is it possible to symlink the screenshot folder out into something like ~/Pictures/RuneLite or something like that? I set up this symlink manually anyway, but not sure if it's possible in the flatpak setup natively.

You can set this up manually using symlinks, but doing it in the flatpak repo would be against flathub's app requirements:

"Do not attempt to retain configs from non-flatpak installations. While possible it is recommended that flatpak installs stay self-contained."

https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements/

Bolt takes several steps to make sure games save their config in a self-contained xdg-compliant location. If you want to change that, that's up to you - symlinks would be the ideal way to do it.

Makes sense, I figured that might be the reason. Figured I'd ask though, thanks for the quick feedback!

And yea I did setup the symlinks myself, so its all good there.
