Currently grsync creates ~/.grsync for its configuration files. Most programs don't do this anymore and instead follow the freedesktop $XDG_CONFIG_HOME spec, placing configuration folders in ~/.config. This makes more sense, is easier for backing up user configuration files, and helps reduce clutter in the home directory.

This is a feature request asking that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME be used, placing grsync configuration files in ~/.config/grsync

Thanks for taking the time to consider this and thank you for this great program!

    Does this remain unimplemented?
