That sounds great :) >>> Probably the CACHE variable should go to a folder for temporary data. >>> Not %TMP% because we want it available longer, but it can be flushed >>> when space is needed on the system. >> >> I don't know about existence of other temporary folder except %TMP% and >> %TEMP% > > Isn't there a folder that is also used for things like temporary > internet files ? Sure, and by just looking in there I see Gimp also uses it for caching (gegl) With SPL folder can be located by reading the registry (on any Windows version): ======================================== >>> import _winreg as wreg >>> wreg_key = wreg.OpenKey(wreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, >>> r'Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders') >>> wreg.QueryValueEx(wreg_key, "Cache") (u'%USERPROFILE%\\Local Settings\\Temporary Internet Files', 2) ======================================== And: ======================================== >>> import os >>> wreg.QueryValueEx(wreg_key, "Cache")[0].replace(u'%USERPROFILE%', >>> os.environ['USERPROFILE']) u'C:\\Documents and Settings\\klo\\Local Settings\\Temporary Internet Files' >>>wreg.CloseKey(wreg_key) ======================================== So, considering previous talk, something like this should be sensible for Windows users: ======================================== if os.name == 'nt': import _winreg as wreg XDG_DATA_HOME = Dir( get_environ('XDG_DATA_HOME', os.environ['APPDATA'] + '//zim//data')) XDG_DATA_DIRS = Dir( get_environ('XDG_DATA_HOME', '~/.local/share/')) XDG_CONFIG_HOME = Dir( get_environ('XDG_CONFIG_HOME', os.environ['APPDATA'] + '//zim//config')) XDG_CONFIG_DIRS = Dir( get_environ('XDG_CONFIG_HOME', '~/.config/')) try: wreg_key = wreg.OpenKey(wreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, r'Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders') cache_dir = str(wreg.QueryValueEx(wreg_key, "Cache")[0].replace(u'%USERPROFILE%', os.environ['USERPROFILE'])) wreg.CloseKey(wreg_key) except: cache_dir = os.environ['TEMP'] XDG_CACHE_HOME = Dir( get_environ('XDG_CACHE_HOME', cache_dir + '//zim')) ======================================== _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
