Name mismatch in persisted state #25

Open tpoliaw opened 2 years ago

Was this app previously called xv? It caught me by surprise that I had an xv/xv.state file in my .config directory but had nothing called xv on my machine.

Would it be considered a breaking change to use xxv/xxv,.state for that file instead? It would potentially be better suited to somewhere like ~/.local/state, ~/.cache or ~/.local/share instead of .config as well (or equivalent for other OSes).

Yes, it was. But it turned out there was an X Image Viewer app by the same name, so I renamed it.

Not breaking with this version number. Could still look for both, but create the xxv one if neither are found. I don't recall finding an authoritative source on what goes in what directories, so I just picked what seemed best at the time.

I can't work on this myself, for the time being. Best I can do is hand out commit rights.
