Added support for XDG directory standards
For a long time I've had to create symlinks in my system so that Runelite doesn't pollute my home directory. Sufficient to say, this is not fun.
I added support for XDG standards, and is now the default on both Linux and MacOS versions.
-
RUNELITE_DIR
is nowXDG_DATA_HOME/runelite
. -
LOGS_DIR
is nowXDG_STATE_HOME/runelite
. -
REPO_DIR
hasn't changed:RUNELITE_DIR/repository2
(documenting what this directory means would be nice) -
CRASH_FILES
haven't changed:LOGS_DIR/jvm_crash_pid_%p.log
Furthermore, we should now use OS.getXDG("config", "runelite")
, OS.getXDG("data", "runelite")
, OS.getXDG("cache", "runelite")
, and OS.getXDG("state", "runelite")
, OS.getXDG("pictures", "runelite")
to appropriately place stuff. Replace "runelite"
with "runescape"
if that makes more sense for certain things.
With this, we should move towards separating runescape
-specific stuff from runelite
specific stuff, and make sure plugins also follow up. We should probably also move configuration into the configuration directory, and add a configuration file for each plugin under a subdirectory.
Important note for Linux and MacOS users: Manually move the directories from ~/.runelite
into the ones specified above! Nothing will be lost if you don't do it, but it's not automatic.
- added support for XDG base directory. only enforced on linux and macOS
- added linux targets to gitignore
- added XDG variable for screenshots
