[XDG] Applications run from dmenu should consider the fixing aliases #3

Open duketuxem opened 1 year ago

Considering the fixes to keep a clean home are applied with 2 different methods :

The first statement is valid for a general use case but say, one runs a program (which only "complies" to XDG with an aliased command) from dmenu, it will just be picked from the path, avoiding the setting.

It should be possible somehow that dmenu reads the alias file to load only the settings applying the XDG Spec. So for programs not only run from the shell.

Not so many programs use the second method though... See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory (find alias)
