Move ~/.slaprc to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/slaprc #40

Closed jeena closed 10 years ago

jeena commented 10 years ago

Please don't use the hardcoded ~/.slaprc path for the configuration file, instead use something like this:

config = getenv("XDG_CONFIG_HOME")
if (!config) config = getenv("HOME") + "/.config"
config = config + "/slaprc"

This has many advantages for the users and almost no disadvantages for you (besides the fact that you have to change your code).

Hi all,

Actually slap uses rc for configuration management, which means you can store configuration in ~/.config/slap if you want to, as well as many other locations which are searched automatically. Hope this helps!

@beardtree Yes it works, however every time you start slap a new ~/.slaprc is created.

@Rnhmjoj I have filed a new ticket, #62, for that issue. Thanks!

Closing this issue.
