#27 Please support the XDG basedir specification

[genodeftest]

Grsync creates a folder in the home dir, ~/.grsync. This – among some other applications – pollutes the contents of the home dir. It would be nicer if Grsync could adhere to the XDG basedir specification. For backwards compatibility, Grsync should search in both the old (~/.grsync) and new locations, but only create files in the new location by default.

Hello,

It should already be like that:

grsync_dir = g_strconcat(g_get_user_config_dir(), "/grsync", NULL);
    if (!g_file_test(grsync_dir, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS | G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)) {
        g_free(grsync_dir);
        grsync_dir = g_strconcat(g_get_home_dir(), "/.grsync", NULL);

        if (!g_file_test(grsync_dir, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS | G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)) {
            g_free(grsync_dir);
            grsync_dir = g_strconcat(g_get_user_config_dir(), "/grsync", NULL);
        }
    }

i.e. it tries to load from .config/grsync, if it doesn't find it it tries from .grsync, if that fails as well it creates the file in .config/grsync.

Please test it and, if it doesn't work, please file a bug.

Many thanks
