Add support for nested config file location on macOS and Linux #251

Open nickgerace opened 1 year ago

nickgerace commented 1 year ago

Currently, the config file is found at the following location on macOS and Linux ~/.config/gfold.toml.

We should consider adding support for a nested location as well, such as ~/.config/gfold/config.toml. Ironically, I believe that was the original location of the config file, but cannot remember for certain. Why not both?

On the topic of config file locations we should look into adding support for XDG config directories, using https://docs.rs/etcetera/latest/etcetera/. If we want it to be truly backwards compatible, we could implement $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gfold/config.toml and then leave ~/.config/gfold.toml as hardcoded to the ~/.config/ directory.
