This issue is still relevant. This is related to #792 though and I'm honestly not sure why I split this into two tickets. Perhaps they should be merged. |
GAM7 now supports storing config in a folder specified by the GAMCFGDIR env variable. PTAL and see if this solves this issue. |
Thanks for this tool!
Linux configuration and data storage should reside in XDG_CONFIG_HOME (
~/.config/
if the env variable is not set) and XDG_DATA_HOME (~/.local/share/
if the env variable is not set). This will provide consistency with other programs. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gam/ should house actual configuration files (for instance, gam.cfg, which would have items likecheck_updates = false
ormember_max_results = 200
). $XDG_DATA_HOME/gam/ should house the oauth tokens, etc. and should be mode 0700.Keeping this structure will also allow proper sandboxing when the user wants it.
