Request to Implement XDG Base Directory Specification #513

Open rwnobrega opened 3 months ago

rwnobrega commented 3 months ago

Currently, in Linux systems, Ipe stores its configuration files in the ~/.ipe/ directory. This location does not conform to the XDG Base Directory Specification.

To improve compatibility and organization, the Ipe configuration files should be moved to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ipe/, where the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable defaults to ~/.config/.

Thank you for your work on Ipe and for considering this request.
