Comment #2 on issue 16976 by [email protected]: use the XDG_CACHE_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME standard user directories http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16976
Thanks for the detailed bug report. One idea is to make the "default" profile write into these special directories, while making the --user-data-dir flag override XDG_DATA_HOME etc. I kinda expect most people, unaware of the xdg spec, will be upset to see data files "scattered across" multiple directories. That is, if you blow away ~/.config/chromium, you'll still have data in ~/.cache etc. Especially if it involves potentially-private data like cookies or pages you've visited. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
