Sane homePath on linux #43

Closed aufau closed 9 years ago

aufau commented 9 years ago

Setting default "homePath" to $HOME/jk2mv is wrong. It should be classic $HOME/.jkii or $HOME/.jk2mv. I'd use first one, as there is no "official" jk2 client for linux and resource files are all compatible afaik. Modern approach would be using XDG specs but it's not worth it in this case.

okey, but why is it wrong? I'd go with $HOME/.jk2mv because we have separate names on osx and windows, too.

Basically for linux user it's like putting it on your desktop on windows. There was no standard, but putting user-owned files in $HOME/.$SOFTWARENAME/ is an unwritten rule. Files and directories starting with dot are "hidden". There is a proper standard now (mentioned earlier) but it looks like there is a 50-50 split currently. It's definitely ok to still use the old rule.
