The real reason I chose to follow XDG guidelines by default was just so I would have an official "~/.cache/<app>" directory to store the generated binary in. But that aside, I'm not so sure how good an argument "unix tradition" is. On my system, I count 12 different programs which choose to store configuration files under "~/.config", and I fail to see how you can get more meaningful than "~/.config/ <app>/" for configuration files. But it hardly matters. I tried to make it as easy as it could possibly be to change the defaults, so application developers are free to use whatever path layout they happen to like. > BTW, thank you Will for making this library a reality! Thanks! It's been a fun library to write. - Will Donnelly --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Yi development mailing list yi-devel@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/yi-devel -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
