freedesktop.org (an organization trying to implement standards for Linux desktop apps) has had a recommendation for storing application config files specific to a user in the $HOME/.config/<appname>/ directory, instead of the $HOME directory. This is why FPC's GetAppConfigDir() defaults to the ~/.config/<app>/ directory. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net:8080/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
