Good suggestion.
So far awless
chose simplicity and went with the conventional ~/.myprogram/
directory to store its config, data and others. Its accounts well for Windows (where awless
is really needed). Also we are still improving on our config files and format, what we cache, etc.... Up until now it avoided scattering awless
resources on user's machines and was convenient in our development cycle. I understand switching to XDG spec would not much encumber all of that.
If we do it properly we also need to take into account the full spec with the XDG_*
environment variables.
Anyway that is something that we shall consider when going out of beta. Thanks!
Currently awless stores its configuration and data in:
~/.awless/
Would be nice if the files location will be splitted as follows:
config →
~/.config/awless
data →~/.local/share/awless
or~/.cache/awless
(depending of the kind of data stored)+info: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/
