Cache data should be stored in ~/.cache/bitbox per XDG spec

[micressor]

Currently, the BitBox app stores cach- and config data under ~/.config/bitbox/cache.

According to the XDG Base Directory Specification, cache data should be placed in ~/.cache/bitbox (or ${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/bitbox if set).

I just noticed this while using the test mode when the headers were downloaded.

Could you link to the relevant part of the spec?

What would be the benefit of changing the current path?

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user-specific configuration files should be stored. If
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used.
• $XDG_CACHE_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user-specific non-essential data files should be stored. If
• $XDG_CACHE_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.cache should be used.

The ~/.cache directory is used for non-essential cached data that applications can regenerate. It's safe to delete periodically to free up space; apps may just re-cache on next run.

The ~/.config directory stores persistent application configurations and state. Deleting its contents can reset user preferences or break app functionality.
