Bug ID: 383594
Summary: KF5 applications do not use a KF5 related subdir for
saving config files
Product: frameworks-kdelibs4support
Version: 5.36.0
Platform: Other
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ralf.habac...@freenet.de
Blocks: 380136
Target Milestone: ---
KF5 applications on Windows stores there config files directly below
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\ as shown in the following example:
G:\bin>kf5-config.exe --path xdgdata
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\;G:\share\
where G:\ is the application install root.
Mostly applications I know uses a subdirectory below this root directory. On
KDE4 times the subdirectory Roaming\.kde4\ has been used e.g.
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\.kde4
Because there are more files into this directory, the result is that is is not
possible to identify files belonging to KF5 applications, which may be required
to be known for example for cleaning data file on a KF5 application uninstall.
Additional informations:
Parts of KF5 libraries already uses a subdirectory as shown below:
G:\bin>kf5-config.exe --path cache
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\cache\
I found that ksycoca databases are stored into that directory. They will
probably be located into a subdirectory cache of the choosen dir.
