I appreciate you looking into this. However, I'm not sure if the change is worth it, since it makes user support more difficult. Currently, I can tell users where to look for their files. With the XDG spec, I won't know where the files are, even if I know which version of RedNotebook version they're using. I'll have to think a bit about this. What are your arguments for making the change? Could you please provide a table of before and after for all directories, the config file and the log file (using the XDG_* names) and a mapping of XDG_* variable names to their most common values? |
XDG base lessens the clutter to the users directory and allows users to retarget the directories for storing their configs (instead of forcing a specific choice on the user).
