After second thought, I am not sure anymore if using XDG is a good idea. Emacs itself only recently started supporting XDG and the support is somewhat limited. Similar to the described case with non-existing .cache directory, Emacs ignores non-existing .config/emacs folder for init.el. Emacs never creates .config directory. So, I can see several options for Org: 1. Just move to back usual usage of user-emacs-directory and store the cache there 2. Use the same approach with Emacs: if $XDG_CACHE_DIR/org-persist exists and user-emacs-directory/org-persist does not, use the XDG dir. Otherwise fall back to user-emacs-directory 3. Same as 2, but only require existing $XDG_CACHE_DIR and create $XDG_CACHE_DIR/org-persist dir if possible. 4. Same as 3, but create $XDG_CACHE_DIR if possible. It is similar to other XDG-complient software (at least, that's what I saw in qutebrowser code). WDYT? Best, Ihor
