One thing I’d like to discuss as part of the Avo2 development is a set of user directories (i.e., where should plugins, molecular fragments, etc. be stored)?
That is, we have places we install code and data files that are part of Avogadro, but we should also have a default set of paths for user-accessible files: This relates to Ethan’s pull request (https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/pull/135) “First Party” directories - something like this: - Mac @package@/Contents/share/avogadro/fragments - Linux /usr/local/share/avogadro/fragments - Windows C:\Program Files\Avogadro\fragments Here’s my proposal for user directories - Mac ~/Library/Application Support/Avogadro/fragments (generators, etc.) - Linux ? - Windows? For temporary files, I think plugins should load them into a string, forcing the user to save at a path of their own choosing. Thoughts? What would be good user directories on Linux and Windows? -Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Avogadro-devel mailing list Avogadro-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/avogadro-devel
