XDG spec for config file location

[cl3wis]

(from the guidelines here)

The config could be looked up at these standard locations, in order:

1) $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bibsearch/config 2) $HOME/.config/bibsearch/config 3) (current) $HOME/.bibsearch/config

Similarly, the lastSearch.yaml, bib.db, and download_dir could live in $XDG_DATA_HOME and/or $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

Thoughts? If the file lookups are done preferentially, it shouldn't break any existing setups.

I've never heard of this spec; which is not to say that it is wrong, only that this surprises me. If this is a standard I'd be happy to see it in bibsearch. Thoughts, @davvil?

Yes, that's actually the right way to do it. I'll have a go at it.

I'm open to work on this as well.

You should do it. It’d be nice to have new contributors.

[cl3wis]

Sure, I'll tackle this.

How is (is there any) Windows support for bibsearch?

I have not tried it on Windows.
