I think that's a great idea, for the default (FHS) filesystem layout. The FHS document (http://proton.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.pdf) actually addresses this: 3.8.2. Requirements User specific configuration files for applications are stored in the user’s home directory in a file that starts with the ’.’ character (a "dot file"). If an application needs to create more than one dot file then they should be placed in a subdirectory with a name starting with a ’.’ character, (a "dot directory"). In this case the configuration files should not start with the ’.’ character. 11 --Eric _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
