Define directory location in one place #3

IMO, to follow the XDG standards, the location for GPX files should be: $HOME/.local/share/harbour-rena. It would become a mess if all my apps created top-level directories.

Thanks for this fine application btw! :)

This should be a simple fix, but it's not to add any extra functionality and it makes it harder for the user to access the track files.

For example, I use a graphical file browser to copy the tracks into $HOME/Documents so that I can upload the files into Strava. Would it make sense to have a way to automatically copy or symlink the created GPX files into $HOME/Documents/Rena so that the mentioned use case would still be possible?

Ok, that makes sense. Or just link ~/.local/share/harbour-rena to Documents/Rena, that's even easier. It's a big advantage wrt other phones that a real filesystem is used for $HOME :)
