@Zygmunt, understood, users can't customise the location. But surely the location could be a hidden directory?
Snaps are supposed to make Ubuntu easier for non-techie users, not harder, and putting this data in a standard directory under $HOME does not pass the grandmother test. If I put snaps on my grandmother's machine, she is going to think there is a virus called snap in her Home directory. Users are going to drive sysadmins mad by accidentally deleting their configs. Why not use .snap if snap's hybrid config data means the usual options (.local/share, .config) are unsuitable? I hope someone will think about this again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575053 Title: User data directory should conform to XDG Base Directory Specification To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1575053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
