Public bug reported: Phatch places its configuration files in /home/.phatch directory which doesn't match FreeDesktop directories specs :
The default for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is $HOME/.config, the default for $XDG_DATA_HOME is $HOME/.local/share. So all applications should look for those environment variables and use those default values if the variables are not set. This is quite important since it's not possible to easily backup config & data files if these files are not stored at the right place See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-spec See also http://ploum.frimouvy.org/?184-cleaning-user-preferences-keeping-user-data (main post and comment#8) ** Affects: phatch Importance: High Assignee: stani (stani) Status: Confirmed -- Phatch doesn't match FreeDesktop folder specs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382763 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Phatch Developers, which is subscribed to Phatch.
