Hi,
We just spoke about the freedesktop.org directory standards in another
message thread and this made me think. Why isn't Lazarus using the
GetAppConfigDir(False) as it's default location for all the IDE config
files. It's hard-coded to $HOME/.lazarus/ directory for Linux (and
probably other unix type OS's as well)?
If it isn't broken, don't fix it.
I think that
a) .lazarus was a logical choice for unix.
b) It is now historically so. Changing this now would mean that the
current configuration breaks.
Not necessarily. (breaking historical location). Lazarus could check the
old location, for loading, import old config, and write to the new
location (removing the old)
Once one or 2 releases have done this, and it can be assumed that the
majority of people got updated, the check for the old location can go.
On the other hand it's a lot of work, for (imho) little gain. Anyway if
the idea as such would found to be acceptable, and someone would judge
the gain worth the effort, then this someone surely could provide a patch?
So question is, is the idea as such acceptable?
Martin
