@jcfr here we are downloading additional parquet files on demand by the user, and saving them into the same location as the original files installed as part of idc-index-data installation.
@vkt1414 raised a valid concern that this is probably not the best practice. Based on your experience, can you advise where such runtime-installed files should be saved? Somewhere under user home directory?
@jcfr from what I could find, it seems that fetching those files into user location as enabled by this package would be better: https://github.com/tox-dev/platformdirs. Do you recommend this or any other approach?
