[Request] Relocate the configuration directory #1349

Open hmlendea opened 5 months ago

hmlendea commented 5 months ago

Hello,

I wanted to bring up a suggestion that I believe could enhance the user experience and cleanliness of the application: changing the configuration directory location from ~/Polyglot to ~/.local/share/polyglot or another hidden location.

Here's why I think this change would be beneficial:


Improved User Experience

By relocating the configuration directory to a hidden location such as ~/.local/share/polyglot, we can avoid cluttering the user's home directory with application-specific files. This promotes a cleaner and more organized user environment, enhancing the overall experience of using Polyglot.

Consistency with Best Practices

Following established conventions for configuration directory locations, such as the XDG Base Directory Specification, ensures consistency across applications and platforms. Users familiar with these standards will appreciate Polyglot's adherence to best practices in file system organization.


I believe that changing the configuration directory location for Polyglot is a small yet meaningful improvement that demonstrates a commitment to user satisfaction.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter.
