#591 new enhancement

put user-files into the "right" places

Reported by: epruesse Owned by: devel
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: global Version: SVN
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Current:

  • ~/.arb_tmp — temporary files for GDE mostly
  • ~/.arb_pts — pt servers
  • ~/.arb_prop — everything else
  • /tmp — arb_db_ files

XDG:

  • $XDG_DATA_HOME (.local/share) — mostly static per user data
  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (.config) — mutable per user data
  • $XDG_CACHE_HOME (.cache) — replacable data
  • $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (/run/user/$UID) — sockets, pidfiles

glib has a bunch of functions to obtain those directories. This won't help the scripts, though, and I'm not sure what it does on OSX.
