Hello,
I would like to know whether you plan to implement the XDG Base
Specification for the settings in libgphoto2.
There is already an open ticket [1] for an explanation on some users
might choose to do so, with further information for example at [2].
I went ahead and created a patch to do that.
Currently the current `$HOME/.gphoto/` takes precedence (only if
present) over the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (and its fallback) as some software
might not use `gp_setting_get` to access the settings file.
If this is of no concern then the fallback order can be changed to:
(1) XDG_BASE_CONFIG/gphoto/settings
(2) $HOME/.config/gphoto/settings
(3) $HOME/.gphoto/settings
This should allow for a graceful depreciation of the old settings
location if this is wanted.
As this only concerns Linux and UNIX systems the Windows portion is
still unaffected.
