mylg.config now in .config. and many small non-code changes.

@jungle-boogie Thanks for the commits!

• If we change the config per your change , the current users lose their configuration, let's postpone this for later.
• I can not see the binary file under github

@mehrdadrad,

yes, the config would be lost. How can we make it copy it to the new location? Alternatively, in release notes you can mention the new location.

The binary file was a mistake as I built and added mylg on my branch and inadvertently committed it.

A solution would be to run a check if ~/.mylg.config exists, move it to ~/.config/mylg.config just before the configuration is loaded.

However, and this is just my $0.02, I dont think mylg should create/use a generically named directory in the users ~ for just one file. I kinda feel like mylg's configuration file should be just a dotfile in ~. If mylg should create a directory to store its configuration I think it should use ~/.mylg/config or smething like that.

The reason I like it in .config is because that's where lots of other configuration files are saved. In my own .config, I have: htop, hub, mutt, ntfy, profanity, syncthing.

If I want to automate backups of my home directory, I could do everything in my home directory or simply important things I want to keep, which includes .config. I think there's a stronger likelihood of someone forgetting mylg saves files to ~/.mylg.config and not ~/.config/mylg.config

You're right, some the items in my .config are directories that contain only single files within the directory.

% ls -l .config/ntfy
total 4
-rw-r--r--  1 user user  92 Apr 19  2016 ntfy.yml

Ah, I have missed the fact that many applications nowdays put their config in .config. Then my point about that might be a bit useless. :D

[jungle-boogie]

no problem!

Would you be happy with ~/.config/mylg/mylg.config?

If so, do you have any suggestions on check/move code?

[mehrdadrad]

@jungle-boogie I think we need to have an issue for this subject (change configuration path) then we can discuss and track it.

@jungle-boogie Thanks!
