[rox-devel] rox config directory not hidden

[Nathaniel T. <nd...@nt...>]

I'm using a self-compiled rox 2.1.0 on a linux-based system.
As far as I have discovered it is not possible to avoid a non-hidden 
directory ("~/Choices") being used to hold configs after user 
modification of settings.

i)  I suggest all such config files/dirs should by default be hidden: 
almost any user knows that the config for rox should live at .rox* so 
there will not be a problem finding it if wanted. 
If all or even a few programs didn't hide their configs a homedir would 
be a terrible mess!
Also, using such a general name as Choices stands a good chance of 
conflict.

ii) If for some reason you are adamant that rox should default to a 
non-hidden config dir, it would be very good if this could easily be 
changed to being hidden.  In spite of my liking of Rox, I _do_ want to 
configure it, yet I really hate having extra directories sitting there!  
This is almost enough to put me off.


Finally, it seems _really good_.  The recent changes of kde terminology 
(e.g. directory -> folder) and interface (e.g. permissions dialogue a 
la microsoft) have driven me back to icewm with non-kde apps.  Rox is 
ever so neat and quick, and doesn't try to hide the form of the 
commands it is `graphicising'.  So, thanks, and long may it be 
developed!
