That's not the only concern, Zygmunt. We also need to design what we'll move towards when it actually happens. As was detailed much earlier in this thread, there are considerations about both the kind of content that is inside those directories (which isn't something that typically goes hidden), and also in terms of what we'll move towards if we're not hiding it.
There is another feature in development as well that will make it easier for applications to safely read/write content anywhere else. If that works well, it will influence the direction we go here. So, once more, we're aware that this is an important personal preference issue to some of you, but please realize that creating directories in $HOME for user content isn't novel, and if you're using the Ubuntu desktop you do have other entries there which were automatically created already. We understand the desire of being able to change that directory somewhere else, but for reasons there were outlined earlier (e.g. confinement), this isn't as straightforward as it sounds. It's also quite obviously not a priority for us either given everything else we're doing right now on this project. Trust me when I say we would like to see this improved as well. The difference is that we're even more keen on seeing other major features landing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575053 Title: Please move the "$HOME/snap" directory to a less obtrusive location 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
