Status: Wish => In Progress
Assigned to: lukacu => achadwick
Planned Release: 0.8.0 => None

Follow-up Comment #14:
Reassigning to myself. I think we should support XDG as much as possible, and
store our data {brushes, backgrounds, palettes} under $XDG_DATA_HOME as well.
However we should support existing user configurations that store configs and
user data in $HOME/.config by testing for its existence and using that, with a
warning. For new installations, only the new locations would be used.
These can be got at cleanly via glib: glib.get_user_data_dir() and
glib.get_user_config_dir(). These paths are the same on Windows, but different
on POSIX+XDG systems. I think using those would give on POSIX systems:
Old New
----------------- --------------------------------------
~/.config/brushes $XDG_DATA_HOME/mypaint/brushes
~/.config/backgrounds $XDG_DATA_HOME/mypaint/backgrounds
~/.config/settings.json $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mypaint/settings.json
For Windows, everything should be the same as it is now according to the glib
docs:
Old New (identical!)
