~/.local/share seemed a bizarre place to store data to me. FWIW, it is where things like "Tomboy" (a post-it-note application) store data (ie. its notes), without me ever having to worry about what file they were saved in. I guess it is a location for the kind of stateful program data of that kind which is "per-user". Tomboy always works with the same set of notes, it is single instance, and doesn't require me "File->Opening" the data. I can't think of any real parallels in gEDA. Most of our ~/.* data is configuration and logs. Perhaps some of the gafrc config stuff in gEDA is a bit more important than general preferences stuff which could be rm'd, but I don't think I'd go so far as call it data. <not a proposal> Perhaps ~/.local/share/gEDA/sym/* would be a decent location to stash locally created symbols on a per-user basis? (Works so long as any transferable final output can embed the symbols with the schematic file / project directory). </not a proposal> Best wishes, -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
