Re: [Gaim-devel] [ gaim-Bugs-1636195 ] Make Gaim use freedesktop.org basedir specification

[Martin O. <pah...@gm...>]

At first, nobody should call me an sync expert, Only things I've
"synchronized" this far are logs and  accounts.xml (mainly because users are
stored at IM servers and there is no problem for me to group them)...

OK I agree. Still only as long, as long as that ~/.cache for example gets
reached through $XDG_CACHE_HOME variable, etc...

There will still be gaim specific sub-directory under that base, right?

A variable for all the config files sure could help ones not happy with the
way $HOME gets written currently. All that only when every other
freedesktop.org compatible application will use them the same way...

About windows the places could be something like %userprofile%\Application
Data\.config, %userprofile%\Application Data\.data and considering TEMP to
be user specific on the NT systems, then %TEMP%\.cache
Also there does exist the "All Users" folder in case machine wide settings
would ever be needed.
