Hi,

when users save certain articles for later (right click on an article in the
left panel → Save article), GNOME Feeds saves a reference to a file Error
opening file $HOME/.cache/org.gabmus.gfeeds/saved_articles/*.

Since $HOME/.cache/ is a directory prone to be deleted by users or to be
excluded from backups to save disk space, saved articles are lost with that
directory. When the contents of $HOME/.cache/org.gabmus.gfeeds/saved_articles/
are gone, GNOME Feeds still lists the saved articles in the saved articles
view, but when the user selects one of them, Feeds displays an error message.
E.g., "Error opening file
/home/fuddl/.cache/org.gabmus.gfeeds/saved_articles/40b2cb9d990303a53a579051f55b22c843ae10d0:
No such file or directory".

I suggest to make GNOME Feeds store saved articles not under $HOME/.cache/ but
in a different directory that is considered to store users' data.

Cheers,
Bruno
