And you are right :). Thank you! $ echo $HOME /home/rocketmouse $ HOME=/mnt/music gedit $ echo $HOME /home/rocketmouse $ ls -hAl /mnt/music/ | grep "Jul 10" drwxr-xr-x 3 rocketmouse rocketmouse 4.0K Jul 10 09:47 .config drwxr-xr-x 3 rocketmouse rocketmouse 4.0K Jul 10 09:47 .local $ ls -hAl /mnt/music/.config/gedit/accels -rw-r--r-- 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse 11K Jul 10 09:47 /mnt/music/.config/gedit/accels $ ls -hAl /mnt/music/.local/share/recently-used.xbel -rw------- 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse 218 Jul 10 09:47 /mnt/music/.local/share/recently-used.xbel What I tried to pointed out in broken English is: Assumed I was working on two or more songs, then I had to copy and restore configs from/to /home, while all the music data was in /mnt/music, now I can store and load the configs to /mnt/music/song_foo_1, /mnt/music/song_foo_2 etc.. Some applications have options to save and load config files, but others simply store data in $home only and in addition the configs sometimes are not easy to find. $ HOME=/mnt/music $music_applications will solve this issue for me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
