Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
According to http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html (FreeDesktop base directory specification): "$XDG_CACHE_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific non-essential data files should be stored. If $XDG_CACHE_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.cache should be used." To make things like backups easier, nautilus' gnome-video-thumbnailer should place its thumbnails somewhere in ~/.cache. This would also ease the development of automatic cleanup tools (see related blueprints). ** Affects: nautilus Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #494592 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494592 ** Also affects: nautilus via http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494592 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus According to http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html (FreeDesktop base directory specification): "$XDG_CACHE_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific non-essential data files should be stored.
