I agree but not completely, this could be achieved easily during packaging. I'll try to set some hardcoded defaults
Yeah, the packer can workaround it, putting everything in ~/.config/retroarch/
The problem comes when you download cheat stuff, and games to GW core, you'll have lot of folders from cht/ "hiding" the downloaded games. Take a look:
So you'll have a lot of different stuff in only one folder.
@fr500 I like the changes, only a few issues:
Extraction Dir should be at /tmp instead rom folder Input Device Autoconfig Dir should be at ~/.config/retroarch/autoconf/udev Boxarts Dir should have its folder too File Browser Dir should be ~/ ?
Extraction dir is fine at content dir by default, it's always cleaned up. Input device autoconf is fine, it looks at the subfolders and at the autoconf folder Boxarts are user data
Is this ok now? am I missing any folders? This has to be implemented on a per-platform basis but I think Linux is done aleady
There's screenshots folder now, but in the settings dir it's in the Content Dir.
It's missing a folder for boxarts yet.
Dynamic Wallpapers Dir should be set too, ~/.config/retroarch/assets/wallpapers/bichromatic pads/1440x900 ?
Eh, screenshots is OK, sorry :p
~/.config/retroarch/assets/wallpapers/bichromatic that's a bit too specific for a default but yeah could be done..
Somethings are just meant to be configured though, this was more about creating the default dirs than anything.
RA should have default folders to cht, database, downloaded contents and others, inside ~/.config/retroarch/, for example:
~/.config/retroarch/downloads/ ~/.config/retroarch/cores/ ~/.config/retroarch/cht/ ~/.config/retroarch/databases/ ~/.config/retroarch/playlists/ [...]
Extracting the online stuff in the home folder is not very nice, linux users tend to dislike pollution in their ~/ (and I almost deleted my game/rom folders, which has the same name of "Games" cht folder)
I know you can change default dirs, just do a dummy default place for this kind of stuff.
