In MyPaint we are storing a couple of application specific things as files in data/ and during a load-save cycle we recreate these files from scratch. This has the unfortunate side-effect that everything we don't know whats for gets discarded. While not really a prerequisite for fixing this, I think some kind of standardized name-spacing for the stuff in data/ is needed, so we don't clobber each others files. And specify that a round-trip between two applications does not delete any application specific data.
So how do we do this? My initial idea is to keep it real simple: 1) store application specific files in data/APPLICATION/ 2) always keep the other subfolders unchanged -- Regards Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com
