directory names #29

Closed fanmingyu212 closed 2 years ago

Currently the log and scripts are saved in %userprofile%\tray_launcher. https://github.com/Jayich-Lab/tray-launcher/pull/20#discussion_r794226105 suggests to change it to .tray_launcher.

Also, should available_scripts be removed to scripts for simplicity?

Oh shoot, I forgot to tray_launcher.

I forgot to tray_launcher.

Don't worry. It is a small format thing that I am not 100% sure about.

I've changed the directory name to .tray_launcher. Now logs and scripts (previously available_scripts) are under %USERPROFILE\.tray_launcher.

Although the dot is added, I can still see the directory from my file explorer. I think this is expected because dot only hides the directory from ls command? That's what wikipedia tells me.

Okay that sounds great. The dot would not hide the directory in Windows. It hides the directory in linux. I don't think there is a naming style that can hide the directory in Windows, but it is still good to follow what other software do (anaconda, docker, jupyter, labrad, matplotlib, vscode, etc.) by adding a dot.

Yeah I will try to follow the conventions. If there are other conventions that I missed, plz let me know!
