Hi, Is there any documentation about a standard filesystem layout? For user data storage like music, videos etc. On Mac OS X there are pre-define folders for Movies, Music, Pictures and Applications. It would save a lot of time searching with file dialogs if a standard was proposed for applications. Example, an application which plays mp3s would look in Music by default.
Well, there's FHS (file system hierarchy standard). But it more about the system than the user's music... I don't see the interest of a "My Picture" or a "My Music" folder. In fact, I tend to hate that way of doing things. And I think a lot of users will want to organise things the way they want... It wouldn't be a standard, it would be a bother. __________________ Marc-Olivier Barre. -- __________________ Marc-Olivier Barre. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
