Follow Free Desktop Standards for config file
Like the vast majority of projects, you've opted to put a .rc file in the user $HOME. As much I understand how convenient it is (specially for app developers) I find really annoying to have hundreds of dotfiles in my home because I happened to use something one day.
Is there any possibility that you would migrate your configuration file to use the Free Desktop Standard?
This would mean using $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/entropic, defaulting to $HOME/.config/entropic if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined. Similar conventions could be followed for cached and application data.
If you think this is a good idea, I could volunteer for implementing it.
I understand this is may sound like a silly petition because is not a standard a lot of people is using nowadays, but I think you are in a position to set a nice example :)
PS: Sorry for ignoring the template, but I didn't know how to put this request in the provided fields.
I'm glad there's already a discussion on this :)
Sorry for the noise, but it's not clear to me the role Discourse plays in this vs Github Issues.
- In the CONTRIBUTING there's no reference to Discourse, maybe we should amend that?
- If there's already a discussion there, should we close this Issue?
